Fenders in Marine
-Virincheepuram Naveen
FENDERS
• In boating, a fender is a bumper used to absorb the kinetic energy of a boat or vessel berthing against a jetty, quay wall or other vessel.
• Fenders are used to prevent damage to boats, vessels and berthing structures.
• To do this, fenders usually have high energy absorption and low reaction force. Fenders are typically manufactured out of rubber, foam elastomer or plastic.
