Boat Fender Lightweight Structure Strong Flexibility Weather Resistant

Description

The Pneumatic Rubber Fender is a sophisticated air-inflated fender system specifically engineered to mitigate the impact between vessels and docking structures or other vessels. Its unique combination of an elastic rubber outer layer and a multi-layer high-tensile cord reinforcement provides excellent deformation capacity, energy absorption, and reaction force control. The fender’s air chamber acts as a compressible medium, enabling consistent cushioning even under repeated and heavy impact scenarios, making it suitable for both inland and offshore applications.

Hongruntong Marine’s pneumatic fenders have been rigorously tested under ISO 17357-1:2014, ensuring compliance with international safety and quality standards. They are designed to function effectively under extreme environmental conditions, including high wind loads, waves, and temperature variations. The modular design allows integration with tire-chain protective nets, enhancing abrasion resistance while simplifying maintenance.

Case Study – Container Terminal Upgrade in Rotterdam, Netherlands

In 2023, a major container terminal in Rotterdam faced challenges accommodating larger Post-Panamax vessels. Existing fixed fender systems were unable to handle increased berthing loads and were causing hull scratches and minor structural damages. The port authority commissioned Hongruntong Marine to provide a customized solution using 1.8 m diameter, 60 kPa pneumatic rubber fenders.

A team of engineers conducted extensive simulations, including Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling of tidal movements and vessel sway during berthing. The fender system was optimized to absorb up to 2200 kN·m of kinetic energy while maintaining a low reaction force below 850 kN. Installation included a tire-chain protective net to withstand container loading equipment impacts.

After six months of operation, data logging from integrated pressure sensors confirmed consistent performance under high-frequency berthing operations. Terminal operators reported a 30% reduction in hull impact incidents and minimal maintenance requirements. Due to the success of this deployment, the port authority expanded the installation across three additional berths, making Hongruntong fenders the standard for large container operations.

This project demonstrates the adaptability, durability, and reliability of Hongruntong pneumatic fenders in modern high-density port environments, addressing both safety and efficiency challenges.

Strategy

Our strategy is built on the foundation of our corporate values and will drive our successful development in the coming years in order to achieve our long-term vision for Hongruntong Marine: to become a global leader in brands and technologies.

In order to steer the focus of the entire organization toward our strategy and ensure its successful implementation, we have defined four strategic priorities: Outperform – Globalize – Simplify – Inspire.

The basis for our strategy was a detailed analysis of major long-term market trends. We identified three megatrends, which will affect our different businesses over the next years: consolidation, emerging markets and speed.

• Consolidation in our supplier, manufacturer and customer base as well as in our competitive environment will continue. Size will become a critical success factor in the future. Consequently, we need to grow our businesses.
• We expect the shift of growth from mature to emerging markets to continue. As a result, we need to expand our already strong footprint in these markets over the coming years.
• We anticipate highly dynamic market evolution, and faster decision-making by suppliers, customers and competitors. In addition, further digitalization will lead to changes in our market environment. We therefore need to continue simplifying our processes and increasing our operational excellence.

Financial targets 2023

We have defined ambitious financial targets for our company. By 2023, Hongruntong Marine aims to grow sales to 600 million dollars, of which 300 million dollars will come from emerging markets. For adjusted earnings per preferred share (EPS), Hongruntong Marine targets a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10 percent between now and 2023. These financial targets are based on organic growth, including continuous portfolio optimization, that is, small and mid-sized acquisitions as well as divestment or discontinuation of nonstrategic activities. Potential major acquisitions or divestments are not built into our financial targets.
