Keyhole Fender

As a global leader in maritime protection solutions, Hongruntong’s advanced rubber keyhole fenders are engineered to redefine docking safety. Developed through 15+ years of hydrodynamic research in collaboration with Shanghai Maritime University, our fenders exceed PIANC 2002 and OCIMF MEG4 standards, ensuring reliability in the world’s most challenging marine environments – from Arctic offshore platforms to tropical megaports.

Engineered Excellence: Technical Superiority

1. Proprietary Rubber Compound

• Durability: 55-65 Shore A hardness rubber with 18% carbon black reinforcement

• Environmental Resistance:

  • UV stability tested per ASTM G154 (5,000+ hours xenon-arc exposure)

  • Chemical resistance to oils, fuels, and saline solutions (pH 2-12)

• Operational Range: -40°C to +90°C performance certification

2. Structural Innovation

• Energy Absorption: 42% higher than standard D-shaped fenders (DNV GL verified)

• Modular Design: 300-3,000mm length configurations with flanged bolt slots

• Maintenance: Embedded RFID tags for lifecycle monitoring (IoT compatible)

Value Proposition: Beyond Basic Protection

Operational Benefits
