Evergreen Pneumatic Rubber Fenders (Floating Yokohama Marine Fenders) is a leading anti-collision device for marine application in the world today. This compressed air rubber fender is used as a protective medium. Therefore, pneumatic rubber fenders serves as a critical protective medium against collision when ship-to-ship (STS) transfer operations and ship-to-dock (STD) berthing and mooring operations. Floating Pneumatic Rubber Fenders has the advantages of massive energy absorption with low unit surface pressure acted upon the ship. So floating pneumatic fender has become an ideal ship protection medium used extensively by large tankers, LPG vessels, ocean platforms, bulk carriers and floating structures, large docks, harbor and wharfs. 

Construction Festures of Pneumatic Marine Fenders:
Floating pneumatic rubber fenders, constructed by out rubber, inner rubber, Synthetic-tire-cord, beading ring,  flange opeing, safety valve, metal accessories, are kind of a cylindrical air bags with hemispherical heads at both ends. All of these are vulcanized together, and then compress air inside to enable in to float on the water. 

Features and Advantages of Pneumatic Marine Fenders:
l        Compliance with ISO 17357:2002
l        Low Reaction Force and Hull Pressure
l        More Safety and Reliability
l        Most Cost Competitive System
l        Lower Mooring Forces
l        Advantage against Shearing Force
l        Adaptable to the Tide
l        Simple and Low Cost Installation
l        Low Maintenance Cost
l       Various Optional Fitting

Classification of Pneumatic Marine Fender:
1. Initial Internal Pressure Rating
There are two initial pressure rating for Evergreen Floating Pneumatic Rubber Fenders:
a) Pneumatic 50 (Initial internal pressure 50 kPa)
b) Pneumatic 80 (Initial internal pressure 80 kPa)
2. Pneumatic Fenders Type
There are two types for Evergreen Floating Pneumatic Rubber Fenders:
a) Type I – Net-type Floating Pneumatic Ruber Fenders
The fender is covered by a protection net consisting of either chain, wire or fiber and usually with tires or rubber sleeves.
b) Type II – Sling type Floating Pneumatic Rubber Fenders
The fender is designed to be used without a protection net. It’s easy to hand because of their lightweight.

3. Design Variations
Because of the multiformity of application, Evergreen adjust our design in order meet the clients various requirements, such as net variations, colors variations, and end fitting variations.
