Applications of Chain-Tyre Pneumatic Fenders

Chain-Tyre Pneumatic Fenders are a type of maritime fender that combine the shock-absorbing properties of pneumatic (air-filled) fenders with the durability and strength of reinforced materials like chains and tyres. These fenders are typically used in high-energy impact zones, where large ships dock and the force of the impact needs to be absorbed without causing damage to either the ship or the dock. Chain-tyre pneumatic fenders are designed to handle the heavy impacts associated with the mooring and docking of large vessels like oil tankers, container ships, and bulk carriers.

Applications of Chain-Tyre Pneumatic Fenders:

1. Commercial Ports and Terminals:
   • Chain-tyre pneumatic fenders are commonly used in busy commercial ports where large vessels, such as container ships and tankers, dock frequently. Their high energy absorption capacity and durable construction make them well-suited for these high-traffic areas.
2. Oil and Gas Terminals:
   • In offshore oil and gas terminals, where large tankers dock regularly, these fenders provide the necessary protection to prevent damage from heavy impacts during the docking process.
3. Ship-to-Ship Transfers:
   • Chain-tyre pneumatic fenders are also used in ship-to-ship (STS) operations, where they provide protection during the transfer of cargo or fuel between vessels at sea.
4. Harbor and Docking Facilities:
   • These fenders are commonly deployed in harbor and docking facilities where the risk of heavy impacts is high, ensuring that both vessels and infrastructure remain protected.
