Our Fenders

Advanced Marine Fender Systems — Lightweight, High-Strength, and Fully Customizable

At Fender Innovations, we engineer next-generation fender systems that redefine performance, weight reduction, and design flexibility. Built for demanding marine applications, our fenders are significantly lighter, stronger, and more adaptable than traditional rubber systems—delivering measurable operational and lifecycle cost savings for shipbuilders, owners, and naval architects alike.

As specialists in the field, we provide tailored fender solutions with optimized dampening characteristics to meet the exacting demands of every vessel type—from commercial workboats to high-performance yachts and naval vessels.

Design Freedom Meets Performance Precision

Our fender systems can be produced in virtually any shape, size, and cross-section, offering seamless integration with your vessel’s hull geometry. Whether you're designing a new build or retrofitting an existing structure, we provide perfectly contoured fenders that ensure maximum protection, aesthetic appeal, and hydrodynamic efficiency.

• Lengths up to 20 meters (longer upon request)
• Fully seamless around corners for a sleek, continuous look
• Customizable dampening profiles tailored to vessel usage and contact scenarios
• Mirror-polished branding options with logo or vessel name available
   

We work with 2D/3D CAD files (IGES, Rhino, etc.) or physical templates. If design files are unavailable, we offer on-site measurement and 3D scanning services. Our engineers will guide you in defining optimal fender geometry based on structural loads, hull design, and operational context.

Engineered Strength with Adaptive Energy Absorption

Every fender features a closed-cell foam core with multi-density layering, reinforced by a high-tensile technical mesh and finished with our proprietary FI topcoat, available in several high-performance variants. This construction delivers:

• Exceptional energy absorption and rebound characteristics
• Customizable compressibility and stiffness zones
• Broad operational range: -30°C to +55°C (wider ranges available)
• No water absorption in case of damage—enabling emergency repair and zero downtime
   

We maintain stock of over 15 foam densities, allowing rapid prototyping and production to match your delivery timelines.

Efficient Integration & Installation Flexibility

Our preferred mounting method is direct bonding to the hull, ensuring speed, strength, and cost-efficiency. For specialized needs, we offer:

• Integration with composite, aluminum, stainless steel, or nylon structures
• Custom brackets and mounting hardware (e.g., SS316, aluminum)
• Fully embedded rope eyes or handles with tensile resistance up to 0.9 kN per point
   

These integration options provide flexibility for new builds and retrofit projects across various vessel types.

Lightweight Advantage, Tangible Operational Gains

Compared to traditional rubber fenders, our systems are up to 12 times lighter—a critical advantage in modern vessel design. Benefits include:

• Improved fuel efficiency and vessel speed
• Better sea-keeping behavior
• Increased buoyancy and safety margins
• Lower transportation and installation costs
   

Despite their low weight, performance is on par with heavy-duty pneumatic fendering systems, making them ideal for high-demand applications without the trade-offs.

No Downtime. No Water Absorption. No Compromise.

Our cross-linked, closed-cell foam structure ensures no water ingress, even when the fender is damaged. Emergency repairs can be carried out on-site to maintain protection until permanent service is convenient.

Branded to Reflect Your Identity

As a finishing touch, we can machine your company logo or vessel name into the fender—optionally inlaid with mirror-polished stainless steel for a striking, professional finish.
