Foam Filled Fender

What is a Foam Filled Fender?

Foam Fenders are available in multiple designs—nettless, netted, small shipboard, and rubber foam types—each tailored for specific marine needs. Built as a strong, heavy-duty floating system, they are ideal for harbors, offshore operations, and ship-to-ship docking.

These fenders deliver up to 40% more energy absorption than comparable pneumatic rubber fenders while offering a softer reaction force than most other systems. Constructed with closed-cell, energy-absorbing foam reinforced with nylon filaments and protected by a tough polyurethane skin, foam-filled fenders are engineered to perform reliably in the harshest marine environments.

Product parameters

Durable Core: Engineered with closed-cell foam that delivers high energy absorption, low reaction force, and complete unsinkability.
Reinforced Skin: Netted and netless fenders feature a polyurethane elastomer skin with nylon reinforcement for exceptional durability.
Robust Structure: Equipped with a central steel tube, galvanized end fittings, and external load flanges to ensure superior strength and reliability.
Chain & Tire Net: Heavy-duty galvanized chains effectively distribute stress and enhance protection.
Netted Protection: Cushion fenders incorporate a reinforced chain-and-net configuration for added resilience.
Rubber Foam Fenders: Constructed with a vulcanized rubber skin that provides outstanding toughness and long-term performance.

Ship-to-Ship (STS) Operations

Advantages Foam Fenders

Foam-filled fenders deliver superior energy absorption with minimal reaction force, ensuring maximum protection for vessels and marine structures. Their Nylon-6 filament–reinforced polyurethane elastomer skin provides exceptional durability and resistance to harsh marine environments. Even if the outer skin is compromised, the fenders remain completely unsinkable, maintaining full functionality.

Designed for ease of installation and minimal maintenance, they help reduce operational costs while delivering long-term reliability. Available with optional chain-and-tire nets, these fenders can also be customized to meet specific maritime requirements.
