Naval Lightweight Grey Fenders

Fendercare Marine developed the naval lightweight grey fender in co-operation with The Yokohama Rubber Company following extensive trials and input from the UK Royal Navy.

Fendercare Marine has supplied Yokohama onboard fenders to many navies around the world, including those of Bangladesh, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Jordan, Malaysia, Norway, Oman, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the USA. In the past 10 years we have supplied the UK Royal Navy with over 2000 fenders, representing approximately 180 complete ship sets.

Vessels carry the naval lightweight grey fenders with them at all times, for use at home, at sea and in foreign ports as utility fenders. These specially designed fenders are used primarily for two applications; ship-to-quay and Ship-to-Ship. For ship-to-quay applications the fenders are used to berth a vessel alongside a quay or wharf. For Ship-to-Ship applications the fenders are used to berth or moor two vessels side-by-side (double-banking) in port or at sea.
