D Fender High Energy Absorption Easy Installation Cost Effective Weather Resistant Space Saving

Description

The V-type Dock Rubber Fender is specifically engineered to absorb high-impact energy from berthing vessels, providing superior protection to both ships and dock structures. Made from premium synthetic rubber compounds, this fender combines elasticity with durability to withstand harsh marine conditions, including saltwater corrosion, UV exposure, and extreme temperatures. Its unique V-shape design ensures optimal energy dispersion during docking operations, reducing the risk of structural damage and ensuring a smooth berthing experience.

Key Advantages

High energy absorption capacity for medium to large-sized vessels.

Excellent wear resistance and long service life.

Flexible installation options on different dock types.

Reduced maintenance requirements compared to traditional fenders.

Case Study
 

At the Port of Rotterdam, the V-type Dock Rubber Fender was installed along a busy container terminal. Within six months, terminal operators reported a significant decrease in vessel-to-dock impact damage. The fender's V-shape allowed container ships up to 20,000 TEU to berth safely under varying tide conditions, confirming its reliability and efficiency in high-traffic ports.

Features

High Performance Energy Absorption
The V-type fender is designed with a geometry that maximizes energy absorption during docking. The V-shape compresses upon impact, distributing forces evenly and reducing localized stress on dock walls. Extensive testing under simulated berthing conditions shows that these fenders can absorb up to 40% more energy than traditional rectangular fenders, protecting vessels from hull damage and ensuring operational safety.

Durable Rubber Compound
Hongruntong Marine uses a specialized synthetic rubber blend that offers exceptional resistance to abrasion, UV radiation, and saltwater corrosion. This ensures the fender maintains its structural integrity over extended periods, even in the harshest marine environments. In laboratory tests, the material retained over 90% of its original elasticity after 5 years of continuous exposure to outdoor marine conditions.

Flexible Installation Maintenance
Our V-type fenders can be installed vertically or horizontally, depending on dock requirements. The modular design allows for quick replacement of individual sections, minimizing downtime. Additionally, the fenders require minimal maintenance, and regular cleaning with water and mild detergent is sufficient to maintain optimal performance.

Eco Friendly Cost Efficient
The fender’s durable design reduces the need for frequent replacement, cutting operational costs over time. Moreover, the non-toxic rubber composition ensures compliance with environmental regulations, minimizing pollution risk in sensitive harbor areas.

Applications

Commercial Container Terminals
V-type fenders provide exceptional protection for large container ships during berthing. They reduce the risk of hull damage, ensure the safety of cargo handling operations, and extend the lifespan of docking infrastructure.

Passenger Ferry Piers
At high-traffic ferry terminals, these fenders absorb repeated docking impacts efficiently, maintaining structural integrity and ensuring passenger safety during boarding and disembarkation.

Industrial Port Facilities
Industrial ports handling oil tankers, bulk carriers, or general cargo vessels benefit from the V-type fender’s high energy absorption and resistance to chemical corrosion, ensuring uninterrupted operations even in harsh industrial environments.
