What Size Are Yokohama Fenders?

Why is this issue necessary and urgent?

Choosing the right Yokohama fender size is critical for marine safety, cost efficiency, and operational reliability. Imagine a cargo ship docking at a busy port—without properly sized fenders, even a minor miscalculation in impact absorption could lead to costly hull damage, delays, or environmental hazards. Whether you’re managing offshore drilling platforms, commercial ports, or private marinas, selecting the correct Yokohama fender specification ensures smooth operations and long-term savings.

What Are the Standard Sizes of Yokohama Fenders?

NANHAI Yokohama fenders come in a wide range of sizes, typically ranging from 500mm to 4700mm in diameter and 500mm to 12000mm in length. These pneumatic rubber fenders are designed for marine and offshore use and offer superior impact absorption and durability. Custom sizes are also available to meet specific project requirements.

Why Yokohama Fenders Size Matters: Key Considerations

  1. Vessel Size & Impact Force – Larger ships require bigger fenders to distribute energy absorption effectively.
  2. Tidal Conditions – Floating Yokohama fenders adjust with water levels, making them ideal for areas with significant tide changes.
  3. Durability & Material – Made from natural rubber and reinforced with nylon cord, these fenders withstand harsh marine environments.
