Specification :

The fender body is covered by a chain net, wire net or fiber net. Chain nets are able to withstand corrosion longer and are usually built with used tyres and rubber sleeves to provide additional protection. Fiber nets use only rubber sleeves. Wire nets are light and more easily repaired.

Features
• High energy absorption and low reaction force and surface pressure.
• No decline in the rate of energy absorption when obliquely compressed, under normal circumstances, and uniform surface pressure for any contact area.
• Low reaction force to prevent damage from repeated impacts against the hull of a ship, quay, jetty or a mooring rope.
• Ability to float and thus rise and fall with the ebb and floe of tides and the deterioration of the rubber.
• High standard of uniform quality in compression performance with no deterioration of the rubber.
• Easy installation.

Floating type fenders are available in many sizes expressed in terms of diameter by length. Customised sizes for special projects are also available upon request.

The basic body of a floating Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fender consists of an outer rubber, cord layers and an inner rubber.

Yokohama Pneumatic Floating Fenders are commonly used for Ship-to-Ship ( STS) transfer operations at sea. To complement such offshore operations, Yokohama specially designated and produced heavy duty " SEAFLEX" STS hoses which are electrically semi-continuous and have no permanent deformation.
