Hydro Submarine Fenders
Submarines and other vessels which contact fenders below waterline require a unique solution. Hydor-pneumatic fenders are specially adapted to this application.The fender body is partially water-filled,then pressurised with air and ballasted to make it stand vertically, fender draft and performance can be tuned by altering the water :air ratio and inflation pressure.
Characteristics
► Sub-surface contact face
► Very low hull pressures
► Variable draft
► Prevents acoustic tile damage
