Yokohama Pneumatic Floating Fenders

Hongruntong Marine supplies Yokohama pneumatic floating fenders, marine floating fenders, floating dock fenders & floating pneumatic rubber fenders—ABS/DNV certified for ports, offshore & shipping.

Hongruntong Marine supplies genuine Yokohama pneumatic floating fenders and high-quality floating fenders for marine applications. Our product range includes durable marine floating fenders, reliable floating dock fenders, and robust floating pneumatic rubber fenders, all engineered to provide superior protection for vessels and marine structures.

As a professional marine protection solution provider, Hongruntong Marine focuses on high-performance floating fenders, with core offerings including Yokohama pneumatic floating fenders (premium brand), scenario-tailored marine floating fenders, floating dock fenders, and cost-effective floating pneumatic rubber fenders.
Our products solve core marine pain points: ship hull damage from berthing collisions, dock structure wear from frequent mooring, and insufficient impact absorption in offshore environments. All fenders comply with international marine standards (ABS, DNV, ISO 17357) and are suitable for ports, container terminals, offshore oil platforms, and shipping companies. Whether for large oil tankers, small yachts, or permanent dock infrastructure, we provide fenders that balance durability, impact resistance, and easy maintenance.

Installation & Maintenance Guidelines

• Pre-installation Survey: Confirm berth geometry, draft range, maximum vessel displacement and berthing scenarios.

• Mounting: Install anchor/mooring hardware per supplied drawings; ensure correct chain length and slack to allow fender travel.

• Inflation (pneumatic): Inflate to recommended working pressure; use pressure gauge and safety valve.

• Inspection Routine: Visual checks weekly to monthly (depending on usage); pressure check for pneumatic fenders; examine nets, chains, welds and attachments.

• Repair: Replace worn skins or modules; carry spare quick-links and patches for rapid field repair.

Quality & Compliance

1. Raw Material Sourcing: Rubber for Yokohama fenders is sourced from Yokohama’s designated suppliers (SBR/NR blend); marine fenders use CR rubber from certified vendors; steel plates for dock fenders are hot-dip galvanized (zinc coating thickness ≥85μm).
2. Production Oversight: For Yokohama fenders, we conduct on-site audits at Yokohama’s authorized factories to ensure compliance with production standards (e.g., rubber vulcanization temperature 150±5℃, cord layer alignment); for universal fenders, our team monitors bladder airtightness during assembly.
3. Final Testing:

• Pneumatic fenders: Inflate to 1.2× rated pressure, hold for 24 hours—no leakage or pressure drop beyond 2%;
• Dock fenders: Apply 1.5× rated compression force, hold for 1 hour—no permanent deformation;
• Marine fenders: Immerse in seawater for 30 days—no rubber swelling or loss of elasticity.

4. Documentation: Each fender is paired with a test report, Yokohama brand certificate (for Yokohama models), and installation manual—supporting client customs clearance and port safety audits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do I choose the right type of floating fender?
A1: Provide vessel LOA, max beam, displacement, berthing energy estimate or desired berthing scenarios. We perform impact/energy analysis and recommend pneumatic or rubber fenders and sizing.

Q2: Are pneumatic fenders safe for ship-to-ship operations?
A2: Yes—pneumatic fenders are widely used for S-T-S transfers and tanker berths because of their superior energy absorption and low hull pressure when properly sized and maintained.

Q3: How often should pneumatic fenders be inspected?
A3: Routine visual inspections weekly or monthly (usage-dependent), and pressure checks per operational schedule. Annual comprehensive inspection is recommended.

Q4: Can floating fenders be repaired on site?
A4: Many repairs (patching, net replacement, valve replacement, module swaps) can be performed on-site. We supply repair kits and spare parts.

Q5: Do you supply fender nets and protective covers?
A5: Yes. Rope nets, PVC/nylon covers and sacrificial belts are available to protect the fender skin and extend service life.
