Cell Fender

Super Cell Rubber Fender

Our Super Cell Rubber Fender stands out as a premier marine protection solution, having earned approval from the BV PIANC (International Navigation Association) standards, ensuring its reliability and safety in demanding maritime environments. This advanced fender system is engineered for high effectiveness and economic efficiency, making it an ideal choice for various berthing applications. Its exceptional resistance to shear forces guarantees long-lasting performance, even under extreme conditions.

Key Features and Benefits of Super Cell Rubber Fender:

1. Superior Energy Absorption Efficiency (E/R x H > 15%):
   The effectiveness of a fender is quantified by its Energy Absorption Ratio (E/R) multiplied by Height (H). Our Super Cell Rubber Fender boasts an E/R x H value of 0.450, which is 15% higher than the standard 0.383 for ordinary cell fenders. This enhanced efficiency allows for more economical designs, reducing overall costs without compromising on performance.
2. Enhanced Stress Dispersion via FEM Analysis:
   Utilizing the Finite Element Method (FEM), we’ve optimized the Super Cell Rubber Fender to disperse stress more evenly across its structure, particularly at critical bucking points and the edge of the leg. This wider stress dispersion enables an increase in design deflection from 47.5% to 52.5%, resulting in superior performance and durability. The fender’s ability to withstand greater deflections without failure makes it a robust choice for demanding marine applications.
3. Excellent Angular Berthing Performance:
   When selecting a fendering system for large vessel berthing, angular performance is crucial. Our Super Cell Rubber Fender excels in this area, providing reliable protection even during angular berthing maneuvers. Its design ensures consistent performance, minimizing the risk of damage to both vessels and berthing structures.

Main Applications of Super Cell Rubber Fender:

• Fast Ferries and Catamaran Berths
• Conventional Rope Berths
• Oil, Liquid, and Bulk Terminals
• Multi-User Facilities
• Monopile and Elastic Dolphin Structures
• Open Pile Jetties and Wharves
