NKPF Pneumatic Fender.

The Pneumatic Fender, also known as the Yokohama Fender, is a widely used floating fender designed to protect ships and prevent collisions during operations. Commonly deployed at seaports to safeguard vessels during berthing, these fenders are essential for maritime safety.

Constructed from synthetic-cord-reinforced rubber sheets filled with compressed air at an initial pressure of 50kpa or 80kpa, pneumatic fenders float on water and act as shock absorbers between ships. As a premier anti-collision device, they boast a proven track record in vessel protection during mooring operations. Ideal for both permanent and semi-permanent port installations, as well as offshore ship-to-ship transfers, our fenders are quick and easy to install, ensuring adequate clearance between the hull and the jetty or other vessels. Their primary purpose is to minimize damage during berthing operations, playing a crucial role in ensuring safe ship berthing.

Applications of NKPF Pneumatic Fender

  • Ship launching and landing.
  • Heavy lifting and conveying.
  • Sunken ship salvage and stranded ship saving.
  • Possible substitute for marine pneumatic rubber fender for protective purposes.

Features of Pneumatic Fender

  • The outer rubber layer encases the fender, shielding the cord layers and inner liner rubber from abrasion and external impacts.
  • The inner rubber layer acts as a membrane that seals the pressurized air within the fender.
  • A synthetic-tire-cord layer serves as the reinforcement layer, made from synthetic-tire-cord fabric, which preserves the fender’s internal air pressure.
