NANHAI's Yokohama pneumatic fenders are trusted worldwide for their ability to protect vessels during ship-to-ship transfers and docking operations. Constructed with synthetic-cord-reinforced rubber and filled with compressed air, these fenders deliver superior buoyancy and shock absorption, making them ideal for safeguarding large oil tankers, LNG carriers, and bulk ships. Our fenders, compliant with ISO 17357 standards, come in various sizes, from 500 mm to 4,500 mm in diameter and lengths up to 9,000 mm. They are also lightweight and easy to install, ensuring efficiency in both temporary and permanent berthing setups. In a recent project at the Port of Rotterdam, NANHAI provided 3,300 mm diameter x 6,500 mm length Yokohama fenders for handling LNG vessels, ensuring seamless docking under strict safety regulations. Similarly, in Singapore, our 2,500 mm diameter x 5,500 mm length pneumatic fenders were used for rapid emergency response berthing, protecting fast ferries from potential collision damage.
Globally recognized for durability, NANHAI’s fenders feature multi-layered synthetic cords and abrasion-resistant rubber, reducing maintenance costs and maximizing service life, even in harsh environments. In 2023, our fenders were deployed at a major oil terminal in Brazil, where their high energy absorption and resistance to inclined compression up to 15 degrees made them the perfect solution for large-scale docking of VLCCs. With customizable sizes and specifications, our Yokohama pneumatic fenders are the go-to solution for marine engineers and ship operators around the world, offering a balance of strength, reliability, and long-term performance.
