Exceptional Energy Dissipation for High Frequency Docking
The fender’s internal air chamber allows progressive compression,
effectively absorbing impact energy during frequent berthing
events. This prevents stress spikes on vessel hulls and dock
structures, maintaining operational continuity in high-traffic
ports.
Ultra Resilient Reinforced Cord Layers
Multiple layers of synthetic tire-cord fabric embedded in
high-quality rubber provide superior tensile strength and fatigue
resistance. This reinforcement maintains the fender’s cylindrical
shape and prevents delamination under repeated compression cycles,
ensuring long-term stability in high-load environments.
Durable and Weather Resistant Rubber Shell
The external rubber layer is formulated for maximum resistance
against ozone, UV radiation, saltwater, and abrasion. The seamless
design minimizes wear and tear during repeated docking of large
vessels, while optional chain-tire nets provide additional
mechanical protection for extreme impact scenarios.
Flexible Deployment and Pressure Adjustment
Hongruntong pneumatic fenders are lightweight and easily installed
or repositioned. Air pressure can be adjusted to optimize stiffness
for varying vessel sizes and berthing conditions, ensuring
consistent energy absorption across multiple operational scenarios.
Applications
High Traffic Container Terminals
Provides critical energy absorption for repeated docking of large
container ships and feeder vessels, protecting quay structures and
hulls.
Ship to Ship Transfer Operations
Ideal for oil, LNG, and bulk cargo transfers where vessels are in
close proximity and require precise impact cushioning.
Floating or Temporary Berths in High-Use Ports
Supports modular berthing solutions that require rapid deployment
and high durability under continuous loading cycles.

They are designed to withstand thousands of berthing cycles without
structural failure, maintaining consistent energy absorption and
low reaction force.
2. Can these fenders handle ultra-large container ships?
Yes, the reinforced cord layers and adjustable internal air
pressure allow fenders to absorb energy from vessels exceeding
200,000 DWT.
3. Are protective nets mandatory for all installations?
Optional chain-tire nets are recommended for high-energy or
high-frequency berthing to prolong lifespan and protect the outer
shell.
4. How frequently should maintenance inspections occur?
Visual inspections and pressure checks are recommended monthly in
high-use environments, with additional checks after extreme impact
events.
