Harbor fender Navy

Vessels carry the naval lightweight grey fenders with them at all times, for use at home, at sea and in foreign ports as utility fenders. These specially designed fenders are used primarily for two applications; ship-to-quay and Ship-to-Ship. For ship-to-quay applications the fenders are used to berth a vessel alongside a quay or wharf. For Ship-to-Ship applications the fenders are used to berth or moor two vessels side-by-side (double-banking) in port or at sea. Features The fender body is constructed from a rubber inner core with a non-magnetic metal mouthpiece at both ends. A grey rubber outer skin with a minimum of two plies of tyre cord layers, also coated with rubber, protects the inner core. The fenders can therefore be used on mine counter-measure vessels. A PT1/8 air valve is fitted at the end of the fender to allow access for inflation whilst ensuring maximum protection from damage during normal use. The fender was designed to meet the following requirements: Weight constraints Male/female manageability High level of performance Ease of storage Long life expectancy Non-marking/non-magnetic
