Docking is necessary for a vessel to safely stop in an area without the risk of drifting away. However, boats and docks can be damaged by the physical impact caused when a boat comes to a stop - especially for larger vessels. This is where marine fenders come in handy. A marine fender is a structure used as a bumper between a dock and a boat.
What are the precautions for the use of marine fenders?
What are the common types of marine fenders?
What is the role of marine fenders?
1. In order to absorb kinetic energy and thrust effectively, a certain degree of softness is necessary for marine fenders, but it should be stiff enough to withstand impact.
2. The marine fender should not burst during operation.
3. marine fenders should be properly worked on and maintained to ensure maximum safety.
4. Having a shipping group is a very important thing, but equally important are the precautions to protect naval vessels in the event of any collision. Therefore, securing a marine fender system to one's ships and vessels is the best idea and the best safety procedure that can be applied and used not only effectively, but efficiently.
1. Tapered fender
Tapered fenders are very similar in construction to unit fenders, but the end that extends toward the boat is narrower than the side attached to the dock. This taper allows them to remain stable and effectively absorb forces even at greater impact angles from moving vessels. This shape also allows them to last even longer than the cell shields.
2. Pneumatic fenders
These fenders look like round cylinders covered by tires and are attached to the main structure by chains. They float semi-freely next to the dock and are usually attached by chains and ropes. Their relative freedom of movement makes them suitable for the changing tides and allows them to be deployed very quickly.
3. Pile fenders
Made of plastic wood rather than rubber, pile fenders are highly adaptable because manufacturers can shape and cut them just like wood. Reinforced with fiberglass, they deflect the impact of the boat and prevent damage to the dock and rubber variants. They are also completely unaffected by temperature, natural chemicals in the water and decay.
These marine fenders work equally well in both floating and suspended conditions. These marine fenders can be used on ships and in ports and are easy to maintain. These fenders are mostly used for ship-to-ship operations and cannot be broken or damaged. These fenders will not sink and will not deflate. These are rough and tough fenders. These are the floating fenders used in the worst conditions and the core used in their manufacture is of a higher grade than the sea fender. It has a network of chain tires with a hard core that can be used as an unsinkable sea pad.
China Marine Rubber (Qingdao) Industrial Co.,Ltd (CMR) is a professional manufacturer of marine rubber fenders and engineering rubber products in China.
