Non-marking navy grey color optional
Ideal for tight corners
Tug - to - Ship Operations
In port areas, tugboats are used to maneuver large ships into and out of berths. The rubber fenders on tugboats protect both the tug and the ship from scratches, dents, and more serious structural damage during the pushing and pulling operations. This is especially important when dealing with expensive and large - scale vessels, such as oil tankers, container ships, and cruise liners.
Dock and Pier Protection
Tugboats often need to tie up at docks and piers. The fenders on the tugboat prevent damage to the dock structures, which can be costly to repair. They also protect the tugboat itself from the rough edges and uneven surfaces of the dock, ensuring the safety and longevity of both the boat and the shore - side infrastructure.
High Impact Absorption
One of the most important features of rubber tugboat fenders is their ability to absorb and dissipate impact energy. When a tugboat comes into contact with a larger vessel or a dock during docking, undocking, or towing operations, the rubber fender compresses, absorbing the kinetic energy of the impact. This helps to prevent damage to the hulls of both the tugboat and the other vessel, as well as to the dock structures.
Excellent Durability
Rubber tugboat fenders are designed to withstand the rigors of continuous use in the marine environment. They are resistant to water, salt, UV radiation, and mechanical wear and tear. The high - quality rubber materials used in their construction ensure that they can maintain their performance over long periods, even in harsh conditions.
Customizable Shapes and Sizes
Rubber fenders can be manufactured in a wide variety of shapes and sizes to suit the specific needs of different tugboats and marine operations. Common shapes include cylindrical, rectangular, cone - shaped, and D - shaped. The size of the fender is determined by factors such as the size of the tugboat, the types of vessels it will interact with, and the expected impact forces.
