Commercial shipping and marine

Polyform heavy duty fenders are widely used in naval and commercial shipping (commercial vessels). This is to ensure the safety of ships, ports and maritime infrastructure. Polyform fenders are thus essential in reducing damage and wear caused by docking and mooring. In both commercial shipping and the Navy, fenders have proven invaluable. Here is an overview of their role in conjunction with commercial shipping and the Navy:

Fenders for commercial shipping

In commercial shipping, fenders are used in a variety of ways:

• Protection of ships: Large cargo ships, oil tankers and container ships use fenders to protect their hulls from damage during docking and mooring. These cushions absorb shock and reduce pressure on the vessel’s hull.

• Protection of infrastructure: Port docks, quays and loading platforms are protected from damage by mooring ships thanks to fenders. These prevent ships from coming into direct contact with concrete or metal walls.

• Passenger Ships: In cruise and passenger shipping, fenders are very important to ensure the safety of passengers and the ship while docking at terminals.

Fenders for the navy

In the maritime sector, including naval operations and defense, fenders also play an important role:

• Naval vessels: Military vessels such as frigates and submarines use fenders to protect the ship.

• Operations and Missions: In maritime operations, such as boarding personnel and equipment, pads can serve as a buffer between ships.

In short, fenders are invaluable in both commercial shipping and maritime operations.
