Also known as floating pneumatic rubber fenders, they use compressed air to absorb impact during berthing or vessel transfers. This creates a soft buffer that minimizes damage. This guide uses industry standards and practical knowledge to help you choose the best fender. Selecting the right one ensures safety and efficiency for ship-to-ship (STS) and ship-to-dock (STD) operations.<\/p>\n<h2 data-block-id=\"09d06ee5-8e16-4d28-9a9c-091bc96e81b4\" data-pm-slice=\"1 3 []\">Composition of Yokohama Pneumatic Fenders<\/h2>\n<p data-block-id=\"18733b53-d1d9-4277-86f3-0b7803c8f1fc\">Yokohama pneumatic fenders are built with high-quality materials to withstand harsh marine conditions. They follow ISO 17357-1:2014, which remains the current standard as of 2026. A typical fender has several key parts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-block-id=\"4a5b1a38-2ac3-476c-b5dc-05454484db02\"><strong>Outer Rubber Layer:<\/strong> This layer protects the fender\u2019s inner structure from cuts, sunlight, and other external damage. It is made from reinforced rubber for a longer life.<\/li>\n<li data-block-id=\"2bb5b851-b687-44f6-a7e4-4212c04677d3\"><strong>Inner Rubber Layer:<\/strong> This part seals the compressed air inside the fender. It prevents leaks and keeps the internal pressure steady.<\/li>\n<li data-block-id=\"1c50f417-d210-473b-81ec-63e9ab35999c\"><strong>Cord Reinforcement Layer:<\/strong> This layer is made of strong synthetic tire-cord fabric. It gives the fender structural strength, allowing it to handle high pressure without bursting.<\/li>\n<li data-block-id=\"0b31692a-1aee-4e8f-bd48-49f0a1b2ea4a\"><strong>End Rings or Flanges:<\/strong> These metal parts are at one or both ends of the fender. They secure the cord layers and hold valves for inflation and deflation. They also include safety features like pressure relief valves.<\/li>\n<li data-block-id=\"1f536065-06ed-4803-9770-a4f48290039e\"><strong>Protective Net (Optional):<\/strong> Many models come with a chain-and-tire net.

The term &#8220;Yokohama&#8221; comes from the fact that the Yokohama Rubber Company (Japan) made the first high-pressure floating pneumatic rubber fender in 1958. They did this because they were experts in making tires for cars and fuel tanks for planes. These days, it&#8217;s a general name for ISO-compliant pneumatic fenders made by well-known companies.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the two main pressure ratings (50 kPa vs. 80 kPa), and when should I choose one over the other?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>50 kPa (standard): Suitable for most berthing and STS operations with moderate energy requirements. It offers a softer initial reaction force and is ideal for general port use or smaller to medium vessels.<\/li>\n<li>80 kPa (high-pressure): It absorbs 30\u201350% more energy for the same size. Therefore, it&#8217;s better for big ships, severe seas, fast berthing speeds, or high-impact situations like frequent STS transfers. Choose based on the calculated berthing energy (EKE). If the energy needs are more than 50 kPa, apply higher pressure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What is the typical lifespan of a Yokohama pneumatic fender?<\/h3>\n<p>With the right care, high-quality <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zhhmarinefender.com\/what-is-the-lifespan-of-pneumatic-fenders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yokohama pneumatic fenders can last<\/a><\/strong> 10 to 20 years (other companies say they can last 15 years or more). Regular pressure checks (once a month), checking for cuts, abrasions, and leaks, clearing marine vegetation, and not over-inflating or overloading are also important. In places with a lot of wear and tear, such as busy ports or offshore activities, use CTN-type tire and chain nets to protect them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yokohama rubber fenders are essential marine devices that protect ships and docks.
