Inflatable fender is an inflatable anti-collision device, usually used in ships, docks and ports to protect ships and their berthing facilities. Its main functions and functions include:
- Slow down the impact force: Inflatable fenders can effectively absorb the impact force generated when the ship berths or unberths, reducing damage to the hull and dock.
- Protect the hull and dock: During the berthing process of the ship, the inflatable fender provides a layer of flexible protection to avoid direct hard contact between the hull and the dock or other ships, and prevent wear and damage to the hull and dock.
- Strong adaptability: Inflatable fenders can be inflated and deflated according to different environmental conditions to adapt to the berthing needs of ships of different sizes and types.
- Improve safety: By reducing impact and wear, inflatable fenders improve the safety of ships during berthing and reduce the risk of accidents.
- Economical and durable: The inflatable fender material is corrosion-resistant, anti-aging, has a long service life, and has low maintenance costs. It is an economical and practical anti-collision device.
- Easy to transport and install: Due to its inflatable design, inflatable fenders take up little space during transportation and storage, are easy and flexible to install, and are suitable for various temporary or long-term use scenarios.
- Strong environmental adaptability: Inflatable fenders are suitable for various climate and hydrological conditions, and can play a role in different waters such as oceans, rivers, and lakes.
Through these functions and effects, inflatable fenders play an important role in protection and safety in ship and port operations, and are widely used in various types of docks and ship docking operations.
