Profile FendersMaritime
Maritime International’s profile fenders include Cylindrical, Wing,
D-Shape, Square, and many others. The inherent simplicity of the
installation and operation of these fenders makes them an economical
solution for docks that are required to cope with a variety of vessels.
Maritime provides a standard range of sizes for each profile, but is
able to manufacture to suit specific needs. All profile fenders can be
mounted in a variety of methods and Maritime can provide you with a
configuration to suit your needs.

Choose with ConfidenceMaritime International specializes in the design and manufacture of rubber fenders made
specifically for vessels and tugboats. The fast paced, rugged environment tugboats and
vessels operate in requires that fenders be available for replacement at a moment’s
notice. We maintain a large inventory of rubber fenders available for immediate
delivery. We can also provide fenders pre-drilled from our factory for easy
mounting. Our rubber fender manufacturing facility boasts a very large
footprint with huge production capabilities which are amongst the largest
in the world. Cutting edge on-premise material and performance testing
capabilities provide clients with the highest level of security when
purchasing fenders from Maritime International.

The quality of a vessel fender is nearly impossible to judge based on visual inspection. A low quality fender will generally appear the same as a high quality fender. The rubber compounds used in the manufacturing process play an essential role in energy absorption, and the fender’s useful life. The only way to ensure the best quality fenders are being used is through rigorous performance testing. Maritime International’s on-site test lab includes the largest high velocity fender test frame in the world which provides discriminating clients with a certified demonstration of our product performance. Our state-of-the art laboratory provides clients with peace of mind when purchasing marine fenders from Maritime.
Not all vessel fenders are created equal

Comparison of Manufacturing ProcessesExtruding Mandrel Wrapping Molding
Pros
• Virtually unlimited availability of profile shapes
• Fenders of any practical length can be produced
• Very high production rates
• Limited to cylindrical shapes with an inside diameter
• Capable of producing cylindrical fenders of over 2 meters in diameter
• Good control of rubber properties
• Virtually unlimited availability of profile shapes and sizes
• Better control of dimensional tolerances
• Excellent control of rubber properties
• Very good surface finish
Cons
• Larger dimensional tolerances required
• Maximum cross sectional profile limited by equipment
• Limited to rubber compounds that are extrudable
• Surface finish can be difficult to control
• Surface finish of cylindrical fenders affected by wrapping tape
• Fender length limited by available wrapping equipment
• Production rate limited by available tooling and cure times
• Requires a mold to be built for each size
• Can be expensive for limited production of custom sizes and shapes
• Production rate limited by available tooling and cure times
Economical Shipping -Ordering length under 20’ guarantee easier handling and proper fit for a 20 foot container.
-The use of a stabbing guide is recommended for loading and unloading of a container. (A stabbing guide is just a simple pipe attached to a forklift attachment that allows you to “stab” the fenders inside their ID in order to pull the fenders out of the container.

Cutting and Drilling It is important to always properly brace all rubber bodies being cut or drilled. Frictional loads between the drill or saw and the rubber body are relatively high and must be properly resisted.
Cutting• Preferred Method: Band Saw• Blade Pitch: ~1” (25mm) per Tooth• Cutting Speed: Slow to Medium• Cutting Pressure: Low to Medium
Drilling• Bit Type: Solid Center Auger or Self-Feed Center Bits• Drill Speed: 75-250 RPM• Drill Bit Size: 1/8” (3mm) Larger Diameter than anticipated hole size.• Feed Rate: Slow (Best not to advance more than 2” (50mm) before backing out bit and cleaning excess rubber from hole)• If holes must be drill entering or exiting the rubber surface at an angle other than 90degress to the surface extreme caution must be used. Extremely slow feed speeds must be used to guarantee a straight hole.• When drilling through the bore of a profile fender it is best to drill one side of the fender then flip and drill the opposite side.• For holes requiring a counter bore. It is best to drill counter bore first then drill though hole.

Vessel and Profile Fender Rubber Properties
Curved FendersWhen linear type fenders are bent for installation
on curved vessel faces, the outside of the fender
expands and the inside is compressed. Rubber
shows very strong cut resistance even against sharp
edges and good weather resistance under normal
or compressed conditions. However, when rubber is
stretched the cut resistance and weather resistance
are significantly lowered. The rubber becomes
subject to damage from sharp edges and ozone.
Therefore, it is safer to avoid installing a linear type
fender to a vessel where it will be forcibly bent.
The stretching ratio of the outside of a linear fender
installed by bending is dependent upon the outside
diameter or height of the fender and the radius on the
position of the vessel where the fender is installed.
On the basis of experience and the test results, if the
radius is larger than four times the outside diameter
or height of the fender it has been observed that
there is no reason to exclude the installation of a
linear type fender on a curved vessel face.
