Foam Fenders

Foam Fenders are a type of marine fender that are made of closed-cell foam material. They are commonly used to protect boats and ships from damage when they come into contact with docks, piers, or other vessels. Foam fenders are lightweight, durable, and have excellent shock-absorbing properties.

Foam Fenders are devices designed to protect vessels and other marine structures from damage during docking, mooring, and other operations. They are made from foam materials that are flexible, durable, and resistant to environmental degradation.

 

Foam Fenders can be cylindrical or rectangular in shape and are installed around the sides of a vessel or structure to absorb impact forces and prevent contact damage. They are commonly used in ports, harbors, and offshore installations to protect ships, boats, oil rigs, and other marine structures from collisions and rubbing against each other.

 

Foam Fenders are an essential safety feature in the marine industry and are required to comply with international safety regulations.
