PNEUMATIC FLOATING RUBBER FENDERS
Ocean 3 Pneumatic fenders are ideal for ship-to-quay and ship-to-ship transfers. Those fenders are typically fitted with a chain-tyre-net for an added protection. Main Advantages:
- Easy and fast to deploy
- Ease of transportation especially for larger dimensions, all in standard transport.
- Very low reaction, high energy absorption
- Suitable for small and large tidal ranges
- Easy to install and to inflate
Application:
- Oil and gas tankers – STS Transfers
- Fast ferries and aluminium vessels
- Temporary and permanent installations
- Rapid response and emergencies
The performance of Ocean 3 Pneumatic Fenders can be modified by changing the internal operating pressure of the fenders. There are two standard internal pressure ratings: 50kPa and 80kPa. The tables over the next two pages give the relevant performance figure for each type.

*Sling Type: without chain and tyre net
**CTN Type: With Chain and Tyre Net.
Manufacturing Process
Ocean 3 Pneumatic Fenders are manufactured according to Filament winding Process based on polyamide threads melted several elastomer compoundsof SBR type, or other on request.
Threads reinforcement uncured Rubber
Components assembling is done with uncured materials by the mean of dissolution. Rubber is prepared with solvant to fix all materials together, time to cure the product in pressurised oven to cure to give it final resistance.

Delivery
Chain and tire net are adjusted on Fender before dellivery and all accesories checked. Pneumatic Fenders are deflated and pressed to be delivered on their operating site.
Larger sizes are pulled out from their chain and tire nets to be containerised more easily.
