EVA polyurethane fenders are made of a new type of polymer material with high elastic modulus, which has high strength, elasticity, adhesion, and maximum impermeability, and can achieve high economic value EVA fender is a kind of foam fender that uses light and highly elastic foam as the buffer medium. It has a better floating fender […]
What Is Yokohama Type Fender A Yokohama type fender is a floating pneumatic rubber fender—a cylindrical, air-filled, cord-reinforced marine buffer that absorbs berthing energy between a ship and a dock or between two vessels. The name comes from The Yokohama Rubber Co., which commercialized the design in the 1950s; today “Yokohama type fender,” “Yokohama fender,” […]
What Is UHMW-PE Facing Fender Pad? A UHMW-PE facing fender pad (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene facing fender pad) is a thick, machined plastic sheet fixed to the front face of steel fender panels, rubber fenders, lock walls, bridge buttresses, and jetty structures. It acts as the low-friction, wear-resistant contact layer between a vessel hull and […]
What Is Marine Airbag Launch Ship Procedure? The marine airbag launch ship procedure is a flexible, cost‑effective method of moving a newly built or repaired vessel from the shipyard slipway into the water using inflated cylindrical rubber airbags as rollers. Also known as airbag ship launching or inflatable roller bag launching, this technique replaces traditional […]
All ship launching airbags must meet the following test criteria. How is the test condition? Unless otherwise specified, tests shall be performed under the following conditions: a) ambient temperature: 10 degree ~35 degree b) media: (1) dry clean compressed air, and (2) clean fresh water for bursting test. Testing instruments, including pressure gauages and testing […]
A support chain through cylindrical mooring buoy is a device that floats on the surface of the water, typically used to mark marine areas or indicate certain maritime activities. The following is a detailed introduction about surface support buoys: 1、 Definition and purpose A support cylindrical chain through buoy is a platform that floats on […]
Support buoys are produced from closed cell EVA/PE resilient foam, sprayed with self-colored polyurethane elastomer skin, are a kind of general surface support buoys for offshore mooring buoys system. They are widely used as the warning buoys for ships, vessels, barges and boats as well as marines docking & berthing. Support Buoys are normally classified […]
Traditionally, building a new vessel meant constructing massive concrete slipways—a process that was expensive, time-consuming, and environmentally invasive. Today, shipyards around the world are adopting a revolutionary alternative: the ship launching airbag. But what exactly is a ship launching airbag, and why has it become the gold standard for modern shipbuilding? This guide explains the […]
Generally speaking, the standard pressure range for marine airbags is roughly between 0.1MPa and 0.5MPa, but the specific value needs to be determined based on the actual application scenario and the manufacturer’s technical specifications. Marine airbag is an auxiliary equipment that uses high-pressure gas to generate elastic deformation to carry and move ships, and is […]
Ship Launching Airbags are also referred to Marine Airbags, which is a ship operation equipment made of high-strength rubber and synthetic fiber, featuring a reinforced layer of fabric and wear-resistant rubber structure. It includes an inflation valve and a tow-end assembly, generating buoyancy to support the ship’s weight through inflation. Its production complies with the JT/T […]
