At Fender Innovations, we specialize in ultra-lightweight, high-strength marine fenders designed for fast-moving, lightweight workboats. Our custom-built solutions are ideal for applications such as all-weather lifeboats, tenders, Pilot vessels, fast rescue vessels, heavy-duty RIBs, research and survey craft, unmanned marine systems and more. Here’s why our fender systems stand out:
Up to 12 Times Lighter
Our fender systems offer a dramatic weight advantage—up to 12 times lighter than traditional rubber alternatives. This significantly reduces overall vessel weight and improves fuel efficiency and performance.
Adaptable Solutions
Each fender is fully customized to suit the vessel and its operational demands. Multiple dampening characteristics can be integrated into a single fender system. Our preferred installation method is hull bonding—quick, clean, and effective. We also offer alternative or fully custom mounting solutions to meet specific needs or special ops such as rope eyes or handles integrated in the topcoat to create very strong connections up to 5 tons, Integration with composite, Aluminum, nylon or stainless steel constructions, lifting or mounting points or your company logo crafted into your fender system.
Cost-Effective Performance
Lightweight materials contribute to lower fuel consumption and long-term cost savings. The non-absorbent design allows for quick emergency repairs, preserving the fender’s effectiveness and minimizing downtime.
Engineered Material Combinations
By precisely adjusting material properties, our fenders offer optimal contact surface, superior adaptability to hull shapes, and performance tailored to vessel use. Standard systems operate reliably in temperatures from -30°C to +55°C. Custom temperature specifications are available on request.
We also design and manufacture custom fender systems for Search and Rescue (SAR) vessels, superyachts and tenders and windfarm support craft.
