Ships fender Donut

A monopile donut fender has a monopile that can be embedded in the seabed or mounted on a quay wall. Instead, the donut fender is fixed to a steel monopile and protects the vessel by moving freely with the tide. Donut fenders are similar in construction to foam filled fenders. They both have an outer shell made of polyurethane elastomer and nylon tire cord, and the inside is closed-cell foam. But donut fenders have a galvanized steel sleeve with a UHMW liner inside the sleeve. This allows the donut fender to slide along the monopile, thus protecting the vessel or guiding it through the channel. Because of its free-moving nature, the donut fender is particularly suitable for use in areas with high tidal fluctuations. In addition, donut fenders are also ideal for use close to fairways, turns, and entrances. Jerryborg Marine’s donut fenders are available in standard sizes and customized sizes for your needs. You can also install mooring points or auxiliary fenders on top of the donut fenders! Steel core in the center: Our donut fenders have a steel center with a high compression capacity to hold the fender securely to the monopile. This design makes our donut fenders less prone to deformation on impact. Polyethylene Pads: Our donut fenders are also lined with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW PE) inside the steel core. This reduces friction, reducing wear and tear on the steel core, 100% Closed Cell Foam Core: Jerryborg Donut Fender’s foam core is made of cross-linked closed-cell polyethylene. This material’s high resilience and closed-cell molecular structure, which isolates gases, greatly enhance the Donut Fender’s performance.
