Heavy Duty Jumbo Type Fender Superior Impact Absorption Stable Performance
Description
The Yokohama Rubber Fender is a floating pneumatic-type fender designed to absorb and distribute berthing energy between vessels or between vessels and port structures. Its performance relies on compressed air enclosed within a multi-layer reinforced rubber body, allowing superior flexibility and energy dissipation compared to conventional solid fenders. The design reduces the risk of hull deformation, coating damage, and quay impact stress, making it the preferred choice for ports, shipyards, and offshore terminals handling large displacement vessels.
( Case Study: A South American oil terminal needed an upgrade to accommodate larger crude carriers with a displacement of over 200,000 DWT. Their existing foam-filled fenders failed to provide sufficient energy absorption, leading to frequent hull paint damage and quay stress cracks. Hongruntong Marine supplied Yokohama-type pneumatic fenders measuring 3.0 meters in diameter and 5.0 meters in length, rated for 80 kPa working pressure. During operational trials, berthing loads were absorbed smoothly, with less than 2 percent air pressure variation after multiple cycles. The system successfully reduced quay impact forces by 38 percent and required zero maintenance over a six-month evaluation. As a result, the terminal standardized Hongruntong’s Yokohama fenders across all berths handling crude and product tankers. )

Features
High Impact Absorption and Controlled Reaction Force
The fender’s internal air chamber provides exceptional energy
absorption capacity, compressing progressively under impact. This
feature ensures a low and predictable reaction force that protects
both the ship hull and the berth structure. The controlled
deflection characteristics enable safe docking even under oblique
approach angles or high berthing velocities.
Multi Layer Reinforcement with Synthetic Tire-Cord Fabric
Hongruntong employs advanced cord fabric technology with high
tensile strength and fatigue resistance. Multiple cord layers are
arranged in a bias angle structure, preventing internal expansion
and maintaining cylindrical form under pressure. This robust
reinforcement extends the service life and guarantees stability
through repeated compression cycles without delamination or
tearing.
Resilient Outer Rubber Shell
The outer cover uses premium marine-grade rubber compounds that
resist ozone, saltwater, oil, and UV degradation. The shell
maintains flexibility in extreme environments, from tropical
humidity to arctic cold. Its abrasion-resistant formulation
minimizes surface wear, ensuring reliable long-term use even in
high-contact applications like ship-to-ship (STS) operations.
Effortless Handling and Flexible Deployment
Yokohama pneumatic fenders are lightweight compared to solid
alternatives and can be easily towed, suspended, or relocated. The
simple inflation system allows quick adjustment of air pressure to
adapt to different vessel sizes. Optional chain and tire nets offer
additional protection in heavy-duty applications without
compromising flexibility or performance.
Applications
Oil and LNG Terminals
Provides critical impact protection for high-value assets during
berthing of large oil and gas carriers, preventing hull damage and
ensuring operational continuity.
Shipyards and Floating Docks
Used for docking new builds, vessel repair, or painting, offering
soft contact that minimizes hull surface stress.
Temporary or Emergency Berthing Systems
Portable design allows fast setup for emergency mooring or
temporary berthing points during construction or port upgrades.
