2.5m*4.0m Ship Docking Pneumatic Yokohama Marine Rubber Fenders

2.5m*4.0m Marine Docking Rubber Fenders Yokohama Marine Pneumatic Bumper

Yokohama Marine Pneumatic Bumper

The pneumatic rubber fender was developed in 1958 in Japan. Progress in the development of such floating pneumatic rubber fenders is closely related to the progress and development of ship technology, and has to continuously cope with progressively larger oil tankers such as VLCC's, ULCC's, large gas carriers, bulk carriers and floating structures.

Floating pneumatic fenders are used worldwide for ship-to-ship (STS) transfer operations, terminals, and for all kinds of ships, large tankers, vessels, docks, harbor wharves and ocean platforms. Since its creation until today, more than millions of fenders have been supplied worldwide both for ship-to-ship and ship-to-dock (STD) operations serving our valuable customers. These fenders play a critical role in the safe operation of ship berthing and mooring.

Yokohama Marine Pneumatic Bumper Structure

① Outer rubber layer

The outer rubber layer uses special compounds that provide additional tensile strength and tear strength to protect the fender from severe weather conditions and frequent use.

② Synthetic-tire-cord layer

The Synthetic-tire-cord layer is made of synthetic-tire-cord fabrics, compared with synthetic canvas fabric and synthetic belt fabric, this reinforcement layer performs better in fatigue-resistance and pressure-holding.

③ Inner rubber layer

The inner rubber layer is specially designed to seal the internal air and prevent any leakage, just like the inner tube of a tire.

Yokohama Marine Pneumatic Bumper Advantage

1. Safe and Reliable

Yokohama marine pneumatic bumper is made of several strong cord layers to enable it to be pressure-resistant and puncture-resistant. The Yokohama marine pneumatic bumper whose diameter is over 2.5m is equipped with a safety valve to release the air inside in case it’s overpressured. The diagram below shows the data variations at different percentage compressions.

2. No Variation or Deformation in Performance

Yokohama marine pneumatic bumper is filled with the air of compressive elasticity inside, the deformation caused by fatigue is absent. In the experiment below of Yokohama marine pneumatic bumper, the performance variation will not happen if the pressure is maintained properly.

Our Yokohama marine pneumatic bumper remains the same without any variation or deformation even at temperatures under -50 degrees centigrade (-58 degrees Fahrenheit).

Yokohama Marine Pneumatic Bumper Application

1. STS sea transport.

2. Double banking and ships berthing at docks /jetty.

3. Oil and gas carriers.

4. Temporary and permanent installation.

5. Quick response and emergency.

6. Liquid cargo and naval defense ships.
