Introduction to Foam Filled Marine Fenders

Foam filled fenders are a crucial type of marine fenders and floating fenders system, playing a vital role in ship mooring and berthing operations. These fenders are designed to meet the specific needs of the marine industry and various construction fields.

Key Features and Technology

Foam filled fenders utilize a unique combination of pure polyurea technology with foam and plastic. This innovative approach ensures that the fenders can float effortlessly on water. The construction of these fenders is quite elaborate. They feature a closed cell EVA/PE foam core, which provides buoyancy. Over this core, a pure polyurea polyurethane elastomer PU skin is sprayed, offering protection and durability. Additionally, a tough middle nylon layer is incorporated for reinforcement, enhancing the overall strength of the fender. This design not only gives the fender a higher buoyancy but also contributes to its ability to withstand the harsh marine environment.

Advantages and Applications

One of the significant advantages of foam filled fenders is their low hull pressure. This makes them an ideal choice for light weight ships, as they cause less stress on the ship's hull during mooring and berthing. Moreover, they require minimal maintenance, reducing operational costs over time. These fenders find wide applications in the marine industry, including STS (Ship - to - Ship) docking and STQ (Ship - to - Quay) berthing. They serve as an essential protection and warning system, safeguarding ships and marine structures from potential damage.

Different Types of Foam Filled Fenders

These fenders are designed in a sling type, with a customized colorful polyurea elastomer skin on the outside. A notable feature of these fenders is their lightweight nature, making them even lighter than netted cushion foam fenders. This makes them particularly suitable for applications where a more agile and less cumbersome fender is required. They are commonly used in STS docking and STQ berthing scenarios within the ships and marine industry, providing an effective protection and warning mechanism.

These fenders are specifically engineered for heavy marine and construction applications. Their robust construction makes them a preferred choice in these demanding environments. The netted polyurethane skin serves a crucial function by protecting the foam fender bodies from external sharp scratches, such as those that could be caused by steel constructions. This protection ensures the longevity of the fender. Additionally, these fenders exhibit a higher energy absorption capacity, making them a better solution among the various buoyancy floats available. Their ability to absorb energy effectively helps in minimizing the impact during ship - to - structure interactions, providing enhanced safety and protection in heavy marine operations and construction projects.
