TRELLEBORG MARINE AND INFRASTRUCTURE Hydro-Pneumatic Fenders DESIGNED FOR GREATER DURABILITY

With over 100 years of industry-leading expertise in engineered polymer solutions that seal, damp and protect critical applications in demanding environments, Trelleborg Marine and Infrastructure is one of the most trusted and reliable suppliers of high-quality marine solutions for all applications. Trelleborg’s Hydro-Pneumatic Fenders (HPNE) are manufactured based on ISO 17357-1:2014 standards and have unique and high-performance characteristics derived from Trelleborg’s attention to detail during the manufacturing process. These characteristics combine low reaction force and hull pressure with...

Hydro - Pneumatic Fenders Hydro-Pneumatic Fenders (HPNE) are primarily used for berthing submarines and vessels that have low free board and high draft, which may result in fender contact below the waterline. Trelleborg’s HPNE fenders are designed and manufactured to be stronger and more durable than standard pneumatic fenders due to added pressure requirements. The fender is partially water-filled and, then pressurized with air and ballasted to ensure the fender stays at the designed draft line, allowing it to operate efficiently in submerged conditions. The volume of the water within the fender...

Better by design DESIGNED TO ISO 17357-1:2014 STANDARDS Trelleborg’s Hydro-Pneumatic Fenders (HPNE) are designed, manufactured and certified based on ISO 17357-1:2014 standards. ISO 17357-1:2014 details three major elements of construction and physical properties: Outer rubber Cord layers Inner rubber OUTER RUBBER The tough abrasion-resistant, improved tensile strength and tear resistant outer rubber is designed to provide maximum strength, safety and to protect the inner rubber and tire-cord layers from damage by external forces. The material has mechanical properties to withstand the arduous...

Features UNIQUE DESIGN OPTIMIZES SAFETY Trelleborg has a newly-designed standard top plate that allows for easier safety valve service and maintenance inspections through isolating the valve while the fender remains pressurized. The top plate consists of several components, including an air valve, water charging valve and safety valve. The safety valve is a critical component that requires regular inspection, maintenance, calibration or replacement. Trelleborg’s onshore/offshore mounting option is equipped with a three-way function for the isolation of critical components. It is operated by a...

The table above is to be used for reference only. The required energy absorption and reaction forces can be manufactured to suit your application. Due to the very specialist nature of Hydro-pneumatic fenders, it is strongly advised that a detailed study be carried out for each case.

Maintenance A major advantage of Trelleborg’s Hydro-Pneumatic Fenders (HPNE) is its simple and minimal maintenance requirements. REDUCED MAINTENANCE At Trelleborg, we have designed our fenders to minimize the time needed for routine maintenance, which means less disruption to our customers’ operations and more efficient throughput and transfer activities. Inspection Trelleborg’s fenders are designed to last. It is advisable to carry out scheduled inspection of the fender condition in line with our Handling, Storage, Inspection and Maintenance instructions. Any minor cuts and abrasions on the...

HPNE SmartFenders Trelleborg’s HPNE SmartFenders continuously monitor fender performance, providing valuable insights that can help extend asset life, prevent downtime and optimize maintenance schedules. The connected fender monitors internal pressure, temperature and geographical location.The data generated is accessible via a designated user interface, allowing users to be notified of any unusual fender parameters that may require attention, or to gain assurance that the fender is in good condition for berthing operations.
