The purpose of the pneumatic rubber fender

1 Ship to ship berthing
Accompanied by a large ship, the risk of two ship berthing at sea is also increased, especially when the weather changes with wind and waves. Adopting pneumatic fender as the buffer can not only makes heavy berthing easy, but also improves the efficiency of the transportation operations. Pneumatic fender is mainly used for Ice in the Antarctic ocean fishing ships and large oil tanker berthing.
2 Used for terminal dock protection
Because of the large size of the ship, the berthing impact energy has multiplied.Inflatable rubber fender are widely used because of its high energy absorption and low reaction force features.

Operation
