Product catalog summary
Company Overview: Marine Fenders International, Inc. specializes in marine fendering and buoyancy systems, utilizing polyurethane elastomers. With over 30 years of experience, the company emphasizes innovation and high manufacturing standards to provide cost-effective, high-quality products.
Fendering Systems: The company offers various fendering systems such as Ocean Guard™ Netless Foam-Filled Fenders, Ocean Cushion™ Foam-Filled Fenders, and Ocean Guard™ Monopile Floating Donut Fenders. These systems are designed for asset protection in harsh berthing environments and are used by the US Navy and international ports.
Performance Features: Ocean Guard™ Netless Foam-Filled Marine Fenders are recognized for high energy absorption and low reaction force, outperforming pneumatic fenders by absorbing up to 40% more energy and reducing hull pressure.
Construction Features: The fenders have a closed-cell polyethylene foam core and a reinforced elastomeric skin, making them unsinkable and safe even if punctured. The skin is non-marking and resistant to environmental hazards, requiring minimal maintenance.
Installation and Testing: Easy to install, the fenders offer floating or fixed hanging options and are tested according to US Navy, US Coast Guard, PIANC, and ASTM specifications, with certifications from various inspection bodies.
Technical Specifications: Detailed tables provide information on fender sizes, energy absorption, and reaction forces, showcasing enhanced capacity and performance across different dimensions.
Ocean Cushion™ Fenders: These fenders offer low reaction force and high energy absorption, ensuring smoother berthing compared to hard rubber fenders. They are constructed with a closed-cell cross-linked polyethylene foam core and reinforced with nylon filament tire cords.
Additional Products: Ocean Guard™ Small Standard Duty (SSD) fenders and Ocean Guard™ Monopile Donut Fenders are lightweight and adjust to water levels, suitable for ship-to-ship transfers and environments with significant tidal fluctuations.
Applications: The fenders are used in various applications such as breasting dolphins, bridge protection, and dock fendering for large tidal changes. Custom designs are available to enhance safety and efficiency in berthing operations.
Ocean Guard™ Buoys: Designed for resilience and impact absorption, these buoys feature unsinkable construction with a closed-cell foam core, offering superior performance compared to steel buoys.
Project Requirements: The document outlines project requirements, including berthing approach conditions and environmental considerations, referencing standards like BS 6349 and PIANC guidelines.
Introduction to Coatings: Marine Fenders International has developed OCEAN GUARD™ and OCEAN CAMEL™ coatings for steel and timber pilings, providing environmentally safe and durable solutions.
Fendering and Mooring Hardware: A wide range of hardware is available, including anchors, chains, and quick release hooks, designed to enhance the performance and safety of fendering systems.

OCEAN GUARD ™ Netless Foam Filled Fender The Ocean Guard™ Netless Foam-Filled Marine Fender is a unique and innovative fendering system, providing high-energy absorption with a relatively low reaction force. Its heat laminated foam core allows it to reliably and safely absorb large amounts of energy when its compressed. The closed cell aspect of the energy absorbing foam allow the fender to be fully functional even if the skin has been accidentally punctured. PERFORMANCE FEATURES HIGH ENERGY ABSORPTION Ocean Guard™ Netless Foam Filled Marine Fenders efficiently absorb significant amounts of energy...

HULL CONFORMING CAPABILITIES The resilient nature of a foam-filled Ocean Guard™ Netless Fender give it the unique ability to conform to a vessel's hull contours and extremities, such as rub rails. This hull conforming feature eliminates point loading, which occurs with panel type fenders, on hull contours and therefore evenly distributes energies over a greater surface area. This results in much lower hull pressures. HULL CONFORMING KULNI LJAULNL, rrj^M-nLLED TENDER BUCKLING r>iNDEi?

LOW MAINTENANCE The design of the foam-filled Ocean Guard™ Netless Fender is highly resistant to environmental hazards such as extreme temperatures, hydrocarbons, fresh and salt water, ozone and ultraviolet radiation. The fender skin is even resistant to chemicals such as diesel fuels. Additionally, since the internal construction consists of a solid heat laminated foam core, there is no need to maintain air pressure, inflation or relief valves, as with pneumatic fenders INSTALLATION Ocean Guard™ Netless Fenders are designed for easy installation. Their buoyant construction allows the option...

CONSTRUCTION FEATURES FOAM CORE Construction begins with a resilient energy absorbing closed cell cross-linked polyethylene foam core which is heat laminated into a one piece solid foam core. This heat lamination process produces a thermal bond between the layers of foam which is stronger than the foam itself which, will not delaminate even under the most abusive berthing conditions. This ensures that the foam core construction of the fender will provide years of quality service and performance.

SWIVEL END FITTINGS All Ocean Guard™ Netless Foam Filled Marine Fenders are constructed with integral swivel end fittings at each end of the fender. The swivel end fittings are internally connected with a heavy duty stud link chain and is designed and sized to transmit the safe working loads through the fender. During the fender skin construction the reinforcement filaments wrap around each end fitting housing. The swivel end fittings are designed to allow each swivel on each end of the fender to rotate independently and freely on the axis of the fender even under full compression. 8 www.marinefendersintl.com...
