Pneumatic Marine Fender with Harnessing

Description

Pneumatic marine fenders are widely employed for ship - to - ship transfer operations and are also utilized in ship - to - moor activities within shipyards and docks. These fenders were initially invented by the manufacturer YOKOHAMA. As a result, they are often referred to as Yokohama Marine fenders or Marine anchorage balls.
Over the years, through continuous improvement, the production of marine balls has incorporated special manufacturing technologies and high - performance materials. This has endued them with superior energy absorption capabilities.
One of the significant advantages of marine balls is their convenient installation process. They can be folded for delivery, which enables buyers to save up to two - thirds of the transportation costs. Considering these features, they prove to be an excellent option for safeguarding large vessels.

Types Of Pueumatic Fenders

ISO 17357-1:2014 recognizes two fundamental types of Pneumatic Fenders: Type I (net type) and Type II (sling type). The selection of the most suitable type for a specific application depends on the intended use of the fender and the requirements of the facility in question.

TYPE I: CHAIN-TIRE-NET (CTN) TYPE

FEATURES & ADVANTAGES

Low carbon footprint (made from used tires)
Simple and fast to install
Provide a good life against abrasion
Prevent the Ship’s hull from being damaged.
The rugged body protects the fender against cutting/puncturing from sharp objects

Type II (sling type)

TYPE II: SLING-TYPE

FEATURES & ADVANTAGES

Sling-type Pneumatic Fenders lack harnessing and, as a result, are equipped with a thick outer layer of rubber to enhance abrasion resistance and increase lifespan.
This design feature ensures that no steel chains come into contact with the ship or the jetty, thereby minimizing the risk of damage during berthing.
Sling-type fenders offer quick installation and require minimal maintenance. Additionally, they are suitable for use in areas with both small and large tidal ranges and can maintain large clearances between the hull and structure.
Applications:
Sling-type Pneumatic Fenders are widely used in naval and cruise applications.
They are well-suited for passenger vessels.
Sling-type fenders are an excellent choice for vessels with sensitive hull structures.

Specification

Initially established as Qingdao Luhang Marine Airbag Factory in 1988 and changed to Qingdao Luhang Marine Airbags and Fenders Co.,Ltd in 2011, Qingdao Luhang had been devoted itself to developing and manufacturing marine airbags and marine fenders for more than 2 decades.

The factory area is 56,000m² with building area of  21,000m². The company has registered capital of USD 3 million and fixed asset of USD1.2 billion. We have a full line of production equipment: rubber mixing machine, rubber roller machine, the China biggest vulcanization tanks, the biggest Press Inspection Machine, EVA foam processing machine, Foam shaping machines and SPUA spraying machine.

Through these years' development, we have full range of marine airbags and marine fenders:

Ship Launching Airbags for ship launching and docking in shipyards

Marine Salvage Airbags for salvaging sinked vessels or refloating objects from under water

Other Airbags for special usage

Pneumatic Rubber Marine Fenders for ships and docks berthing

Foam Filled Marine Fenders for ship and docks berthing

Fixed Dock Rubber Fenders for docks and wharfs

Marine Buoys

From the begginning we have been focusing on technological innovation. With a team of experienced technicans and engineers, we have developed some high tech marine products and got some petents. We have been approved as a supplier of Navy products. 

Quality is our life line. We provide service of “three guarantees” (returning, repairing and replacing) on all our products in case of any defects due to the problems of material,manufacturing, performance under conditions of normal operation and maintenance.
