Pneumatic Yokohama Rubber Fender Ship To Ship Dia 0.6-4.5m

The ISO 17357 :2014 compliant chain-tire net pneumatic fender (CTN) is a lattice of used tyres connected by a network of horizontal and vertical chains, which adds further protection to the fender body. The chains are galvanized for greater corrosion resistance and covered by rubber sleeves to prevent abrasive damage to the outer rubber. The horizontal chains are fastened at each end to a ring shackle. Aging and fatigue often cause fenders to deteriorate in terms of performance. However, due to its air filled body and highly elastic material, such issues are minimised. Solid rubber fenders or foam fenders depend more on the hardness of the material and such dependance may result in decrease in energy absorption performance after years of usage and temperature change. On the other hand, as long as basic maintenance and air pressure control is maintained, pneumatic fenders remain optimum performance even at extremely low temperature down to -50 Degree Celsius or even during high fluctuations. Pneumatic fenders are primarily floating-types, which means the fenders float on the water in an unrestricted vertical plane corresponding to the tidal range and ship’s vertical movement. Therefore, fender energy absorption always take place at the most optimum position.

What does ISO 17357-1:2014 define?

This standard focuses on materials used, the general design of the fender, its skin layers as well as the testing of the finished product. What it specifically not does, is requiring a specific production method in order to be open for future developments and to avoid any misunderstanding, that there is only one ‘correct’ method. Pneumatic Fenders can be produced using different methods and each has its own advantages when compared correctly. The most common methods are molded and wrapped, and the standard does not rate one production method over the other. Choosing a production method is the freedom of the manufacturer and keeps the door open for invention. What counts is that the high-quality Pneumatic Fenders comply with the requirements of ISO 17357-1:2014, no matter how they are manufactured.

Pneumatic Rubber Fender Feature

1-1.Soft initial contact and gradual increase of reaction force.

1-2.Low friction force at the initial contact

1-3.No decrease of
energy absorption during inclined berthing.

1-4.High resistance to shearing forces proven under test and actual conditions and
shearing chains are not required.

1-5.Lower reaction forces during rough weather mooring.

1-6.Substantial safety allowance to allow for excess accidental loads. 1-7.Due to utilization of air elasticity, performance does not deteriorate due to fatigue, and the normal aging and stiffening effect of rubber do not make any influence. 1-8.using reinforcing cord and various rubber layers for strength and durability. This is a major difference to solid rubber fenders where cord cannot be used as it interferes with the buckling effect.

Pneumatic Fender
Pneumatic Fender has been used for almost 50 years, it's also called marine rubber fender or YOKOHAMA fenders. It is the mian anticollision device for ship application in the world. Pneumatic Fender is used as a protective medium for ship to ship contact, ship to quay,and ship-to-berthing. Pneumatic fenders are a kind of marine equipments that are used to protect boats, ships and other naval vessels from colliding against each other or against docks, wharves and piers. In other words ship fenders can be simply termed as a marine bumper.
