Marine Pneumatic Rubber Fenders Floating Rubber Bumper Vessel Boat Bumpers

Floating Rubber Bumper

Floating rubber bumper, also called Yokohama fender, has been used in port, harbor, and maritime operations for decades since it was developed in 1958. With the development of ship technology, this floating rubber bumper is used extensively in ship-to-ship transfer operations and ship mooring and berthing operations. It’s always regarded as a buffer to reduce shock in between due to its excellent performance of great elasticity and abrasion-resistance.

Floating rubber bumpers are divided into three types, including sling type, hydro-pneumatic type, and chain and tire net type. Each type plays a critical role in protecting the safety of marine operations.

Fully compliant with the ISO17357 standard, Jerryborg’s floating rubber bumper supplies with a variety of specifications and dimensions to meet customer’s requests and different application conditions.

Floating Rubber Bumper Advantage

1. Tide Adaptation

Floating rubber bumper is filled with pressure air inside that makes it flexible and easy to float on the water and adapt to the tide variation.

2. Shape Conformant at Inclined Compression

Floating rubber bumper is made of reinforced cord layers of high elasticity and flexibility, which enable it to make itself shape conformant at inclined compression during ship-to-ship operations. Compared with solid fender and foam fender, the floating rubber bumper is easier to distribute the load along the ship's body or berthing structure.

Floating Rubber Bumper Structure

① Outer rubber layer

Floating rubber bumpers are covered by the outer layer made of natural rubber. This rubber compound is strong enough to protect the inner layer and synthetic-cord layer from the damage of external forces and severe weather conditions due to its high elasticity and abrasion resistance.

② Synthetic-tire-cord layer

The Synthetic-tire-cord layer is made of synthetic-tire-cord fabrics, compared with synthetic canvas fabric and synthetic belt fabric, this reinforcement layer performs better in fatigue-resistance and pressure-holding.

③ Inner rubber layer

The inner layer is designed to seal the air inside the fender.

Floating Rubber Bumper Application

1. Ship-to-ship transfer operations

2. Ship-to-ship services

3. Offshore platform defense

4. Ship berthing at the dock

5. Hang on the ship hull
