Core Products: Inflatable Fenders – Full-Scene Marine Protection

1. Universal Inflatable Fenders (Pneumatic Fenders)

Technical Excellence:
✅ Utilizes Yokohama's patented rubber formula, enhancing anti-aging performance by 40%, with resistance to seawater corrosion and extreme temperatures (-30°C to 80°C), suitable for complex marine environments globally;
✅ Intelligent air pressure regulation system automatically adapts to vessel tonnage, absorbing up to 92% of impact energy to minimize hard damage to hulls and docks;

Applications:
▶ Ship-to-Ship Transfer: Forms a flexible buffer zone during hazardous cargo (e.g., crude oil, LNG) transportation, maintaining safe operational distances and reducing collision risks;
▶ Port Berthing: Fits 5,000 DWT to 200,000 DWT vessels, replacing traditional rubber fenders with 35% lower maintenance costs and easy installation.

2. Mega Inflatable Fenders – Tailored for LNG Industry

Innovative Design:
✔ Large-volume fenders developed for LNG-FPSO and LNG carriers, with 60% increased inflation capacity, capable of withstanding over 2,500kJ impact load;
✔ Yokohama's unique low-temperature airtightness technology ensures zero leakage at -162°C (LNG environment), certified to the highest DNV GL safety standards;

Performance Data: Field tests show Mega Fenders boost LNG unloading efficiency by 25% and reduce accident rates by 70%, becoming a safety essential for marine energy transportation.

3. Fixed Inflatable Fenders – Long-Term Guardians for Port Infrastructure

40 Years of Global Deployment:
▶ Served over 120 ports worldwide (e.g., Singapore Port, Hamburg Port, Shenzhen Dachan Bay Port), ensuring safe berthing for over 100,000 vessel calls;
▶ Unique "V-type solid structure + Cell/Cone modular design" adapts to 8-meter tidal ranges, with a service life of 20 years;

Installation Advantage: Weld-free modular design enables single-berth deployment within 4 hours, cutting construction time by 70% compared to traditional concrete fenders.
