Fendering

We bring the benefit of significant marine and operational expertise to all our fender customers, working with them to ensure that they obtain the best-fit, best value product to suit their fendering needs. The business of Fendercare Marine was built on our ability to provide best in class fendering solutions to our clients. We are not just a trading house, looking to sell fenders on with a margin – we are also, via our ship-to-ship transfer division, the world’s largest operator of genuine Yokohama-brand pneumatic fenders. To put it simply, we wouldn’t stake our STS reputation on any other brand of pneumatic fender.

These fenders are ideal for short-term port calls or one-off berthings; interim fendering during construction or maintenance work; transfer of cargoes at sea; buoyancy aids; providing vessel stand-off or double berthing requirements. Additional fenders are provided to naval specifications.

Our through-life support package involves not only swift and efficient sale of new fenders, but also rental, hire purchase and repair/refurbishment services. Highly trained staff at each of the bases in our global network are able either to receive your damaged fenders for repair at our premises or to travel to your site to undertake repair or refurbishment work on pneumatic or foam filled fenders.

In addition to Yokohama floating fenders, we are now able to offer our own brand of Hippo floating foam fenders along with a broad range of fixed fenders and vessel fendering systems.

Our portfolio of fendering solutions can be summarised as:

Yokohama pneumatic and hydro-pneumatic fenders

Hippo floating foam fenders and donut fenders

multi-purpose fenders – for dockside or vessel-side installation

Hippo vessel fendering systems

fixed fendering systems

bespoke solutions

We would encourage you to not just think of us as a supplier of fenders, but as a support resource upon whom you can call for guidance as to the best and most innovative solutions to your fendering requirements.

The Hippo swiss cheese fender was the solution for a navy requiring a frigate-deployable submerged fender for when one of their submarines came alongside whilst out on patrol.

We encourage our customers to bring us their fendering problems. Within our market leading range of fixed and floating fender products, including some of the world’s foremost fender brands, we can usually find a solution.

However, sometimes we need to apply our decades of experience to thinking, engineering and delivering “out of the box” solutions to give our customers the best possible outcome. Here are some examples.

The Hippo Modular Rig Pile System was developed for an offshore client who required fendering for a rig leg 3.6m in diameter, with precise positioning of a combination of fixed and floating units.

The Fendercare Marine floating backboard was developed for one of our naval customers who asked us to help them develop a mobile system which would allow them to use Yokohama fenders against open-pile quays across their base. We have subsequently designed a similar system for submarine fenders.

Our cog-shaped cross section fender was developed by the Hippo design team to meet specific customer requirements.

We believe we are at our best when we are applying our expertise to developing world-class solutions to new problems, or to problems which have never been resolved satisfactorily by others. Please feel free to get in touch and test us out.
