Fenders are typically available in sizes ranging from 500 mm to 4500 mm in diameter and 1000 mm to 12000 mm in length. This wide range ensures that they are suitable for many types of vessels and marinas.In addition, HENGER also offers pneumatic fender pressure options in 50KPA and 80KPA.
Each size of Yokohama fenders is suitable for different vessels and uses. Small fenders are usually used for berthing small vessels or barges. Medium-sized fenders are suitable for medium-sized cargo ships or general terminal operations. For large container ships or tanker operations, large or extra-large fenders provide better collision protection.
In harsh marine environments such as offshore drilling, large fenders are often the best choice. They are able to absorb strong impacts and ensure safe operation. By Choosing the right size fender helps harbors and ships improve safety, lower the risk of damage, and keep things running smoothly.
Size requirements in different application scenarios
Yokohama fenders have different size requirements for different application scenarios. This customised solution ensures safety in every operating environment. Here are a few common application scenarios:
Harbours and terminals: Harbours and marinas often require large fenders when large vessels are at berth. These fenders are able to absorb greater impacts and avoid direct collisions between the hull of the vessel and the marina. This reduces damage to both the vessel and the terminal facilities. Ships such as large cargo ships, tankers and container ships require these large fenders to ensure safety when docking.
Near-shore operations: For near-shore operations, medium-sized fenders are a better choice. Barges and small workboats need proper protection to avoid collisions when navigating in nearshore areas. Medium-sized fenders provide adequate impact absorption and are also flexible enough to be used in areas where space is at a premium. They ensure that vessels remain safe when docking, especially in narrow waters.
Offshore oil drilling: In rough sea conditions, offshore oil rigs require the highest level of protection. Extra large fenders provide effective protection for these critical installations thanks to their strong impact resistance. When faced with harsh conditions such as waves and storms, oversized fenders reduce impact. This ensures safe offshore operations, reduces the risk of equipment damage and guarantees smooth drilling operations.

The importance of size: how to choose the right fender?
Henger understands that choosing the right size of fender is crucial for the protection of the vessel. The choice of size not only affects the fender’s ability to absorb impact, but also the safety of the boat when docked. To help you make the right decision, we recommend that you follow the steps below to select your fender size:
Depending on the tonnage of the vessel: larger vessels will need a larger fender size, as this will absorb the strong impacts they generate when berthing. If your vessel has a large tonnage, choosing a large or extra large fender will provide the best protection.
Consider the angle of berthing: The angle at which your vessel berths will also affect the distribution of impact forces. If your vessel usually berths at a greater angle, it is advisable to choose a larger fender. The reason for this is that it increases the protection area and ensures a safer berthing every time.
Evaluate climatic conditions: in harsh environments such as windy and rough seas, especially offshore platforms. Henger recommends using larger fenders because they can withstand stronger impacts, ensuring the safety of your equipment and vessel.
By following these selection criteria, you can ensure maximum protection for your vessels and port facilities. Alternatively, contact our team of experts and let us provide you with a tailor-made fender solution for your vessel.
