What is Pneumatic Rubber Fenders?
Pneumatic fenders, also known as Floating Fenders, are inflatable rubber structures. They use air’s compressive elasticity to absorb energy from collisions. This reduces the impact on the hull and dock, ensuring safety in harbours.
Pneumatic fenders come in two internal pressure standards and various performance ranges. Henger’s floating fenders meet ISO 17357-1-2014 standards. Over 20 years, Henger has focused on creating high-quality, cost-effective fenders. They aim to improve ship safety and efficiency in offshore operations.
The fenders are made of multi-layer synthetic cord layers and tough, wear-resistant rubber. This design offers excellent pressure and cut resistance, even in harsh marine conditions. Fenders over 1500mm diameter have safety valves to prevent over-pressure accidents.
Installing pneumatic fenders is easy, and they can float on water. They can be fixed with ropes or chains and easily moved to different locations as needed.
Henger’s pneumatic fenders range from 400 mm to 4,500 mm in diameter and 500 mm to 12,000 mm in length. Special sizes can be requested. They are available in chain and tyre mesh construction.

Pneumatic Fender Benefits
Pneumatic Fender offer a number of benefits that make them the fender solution of choice for harbour and ship docking:
HENGER inflatable rubber fenders are made of natural rubber and several layers of strong tyre cord and are therefore resistant to pressure and cutting.
Able to withstand prolonged use and repeated impacts for a long service life.
Can effectively absorb and mitigate the impact of collision between ships and dock, protecting the hull and dock structure from damage.
Able to provide stable support and protection when the ship is docking and leaving the harbour.
Suitable for various climatic and sea conditions with stable and reliable performance.
Easy to install, dismantle and maintain, reducing maintenance cost and working time.
Used In Multiple Applications
Pneumatic Fender have been successfully used in a variety of industries to provide reliable protection in all types of docking scenarios due to their superior performance and flexible design.
In ports with extreme tidal variations, the draught depth of a vessel can vary significantly from one tide level to another. This can make berthing and leaving the harbour challenging. Pneumatic fenders enable rapid adjustment of vessel height to harbour conditions at different tidal levels. This is done by adjusting the gas pressure inside the air bladder. This helps to improve the efficiency and safety of harbour navigation.
Ship-to-Ship Lightering Operations usually involve two vessels transferring cargo at sea. In such cases, pneumatic fenders can be used to ensure that the distance and relative position between the operating vessels is effectively controlled. They do this by providing stable lateral support. This is essential to ensure cargo safety, minimise the risk of collision and improve operational efficiency.
Pneumatic fenders are commonly used for Floating Storage and Regasification Units (FSRUs) in the oil and gas industry. They're especially common in the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) sector. Pneumatic fenders provide stable support in varying sea conditions, ensuring that FSRUs can dock and operate safely and efficiently with LNG carriers. This is essential to maintain the continuity of the gas supply chain.
Pneumatic fenders can provide reliable short-term support in scenarios where short-term berthing is needed, such as rapid unloading of cargoes or emergency repairs. Their flexible airbag design allows for rapid unloading of cargoes. Their flexible airbag design allows for rapid inflation and deflation. This enables vessels to berth and leave harbours quickly. This provides greater flexibility and efficiency for harbours and vessels.
