Pneumatic Fenders:Manufacturing Methods Matter
These days, pneumatic fenders are widely used as protection elements from collision between two vessels in the offshore transfer of oil and other chemicals. It’s critical that while this transfer takes place, the highest levels of safety are maintained.
When fenders are made up of lower quality materials and are not manufactured to the highest standards, they may fail at critical moments such as during the transfer of crude oil in mid-sea exposed locations. Accidents like these can lead to environmental damage and risk the health and safety of working personnel.
The new influx of manufacturers employing airbag production methods for their pneumatic fenders is a concern for the industry due to the questionable quality levels of their products. This paper explores the difference in fenders manufactured using the airbag manufacturing method without employing a mold and fenders manufactured conventionally using a mold to highlight the impact of the manufacturing process on the performance, safety, and longevity of these pneumatic fenders.
