Pneumatic Rubber Fender/ Marine Rubber Fender/ Yokohama Pneumatic Fender for dock

Evergreen-Maritime confirm that all its Yokohama Fenders fully company with all requirements of ISO17357:2002. 
Note: The pneumatic fenders have sometimes been colloquially referred to as “Yokohama fenders” or “Yokohama type fenders”.

High-pressure floating pneumatic marine rubber fender (yokohama fenders) is a leading anti-collision device for marine application in the world today. It is made of synthetic-cord-reinforced rubber sheet with compressed air inside to enable it to float on the water and work as a shock absorber when ship-to-ship (STS) transfer operations and ship-to-dock (STD) berthing and mooring operations. The firstPneumatic Marine Rubber Fenders (yokohama fenders) was developed in 1958 based on the technology for automobile tires and rubber aircraft fuel tanks by Yokohama Rubber Company.

Yokohama fenders have the advantages of massive energy absorption with low unit surface pressure acted upon the ship. So 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 features

Floating Pneumatic Rubber Fenders, whose basic body construction consists of outer rubber layers, synthetic-cord-reinfrced rubber layers and inner rubber layers, are kind of cylindrical airbags with hemispherical heads at both ends. All of these are vulacanized together, and the compress air inside to enable it to folat on the water. So 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.

Evergreen-Maritime Pneumatic Rubber Fenders are widely accepted and used by more and more shipowners, port operators and so on because of its following advantages.
