Product Description

Our Cylindrical Tug Boat Fenders are specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of pushing, towing, and mooring operations. Manufactured from a high-performance, marine-grade rubber compound, these fenders offer exceptional resistance to abrasion, UV radiation, and saltwater degradation, ensuring a long service life with minimal maintenance.  Their cylindrical shape is ideal for making contact with vessels of various designs, from flared hulls to flat-sided ships, providing reliable and predictable performance.

Key Advantages

  • High Energy Absorption: The fender’s design allows for a proportional increase in reaction force and energy absorption, resulting in softer, more controlled berthing operations.
  • Versatile Application: Primarily used on the bow and stern of tugs, these fenders are also suitable for workboats and other vessels requiring robust hull protection during ship-to-ship and ship-to-quay operations.
  • Superior Durability: Constructed from a heavy-duty rubber compound, these fenders are built to withstand extreme operating conditions and provide long-lasting, reliable protection for your vessel.
  • Flexible Installation: Fenders can be installed using longitudinal chains, straps, or bars, allowing them to be securely fitted to the contours of the vessel’s hull for maximum stability and effectiveness.

Available in a wide range of diameters and lengths, our Cylindrical Tug Fenders can be customized to meet the specific requirements of your vessel. Tapered ends are also an option to ensure a seamless fit against the hull.

These fenders are engineered for straightforward installation and are a cost-effective solution for protecting your valuable marine assets.
