Iso17357 Yokohama Floating Pneumatic Rubber Fenders For Sts Operations

ISO17357 Specifications Yokohama Fenders Floating Fender for STS Operations

Net-type fenders are covered with a chain net, wire net or fiber net for fenders. Usually these nets have used-tires together with rubber sleeves for additional protection, except fiber net which has only rubber sleeves. Chain nets last longer against corrosion, while wire nets are light and more easily repaired.

Yokohama fenders have become an ideal ship protection medium against collision among ship-to-ship (STS), ship to quay (STQ) and ship-to-berthing (STB), they are widely used for large tankers, vessels, docks, harbor wharfs and ocean platforms.

Fender Structure

1. Outer layer
Cover outside on the ball of rubber layer, which is used to protect skeleton material and inner rubber ball from damage of external force.
