Port Foam Bumper Weatherproof Chemical Resistant Abrasion Shock Absorbing
Description
Foam fenders are highly effective in offshore ship-to-ship transfers due to their unsinkable design, lightweight handling, and ability to absorb repeated impacts without performance loss.
( Case: An oil company in the Middle East deployed Floating Foam Fenders for STS crude oil transfer operations. The fenders provided reliable protection between a VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) and a shuttle tanker during rough sea conditions. The operation was completed safely, with no structural damage to either vessel, demonstrating the fenders’ durability in offshore environments. )

Features
Corrosion and Seawater Resistance
Unlike steel or traditional rubber fenders, foam fenders do not corrode and maintain performance even in highly saline and humid marine environments.
UV and Weather Resistant
Specially formulated skin resists degradation from prolonged sun exposure and extreme weather conditions, ensuring long service life in outdoor applications.
No Risk of Bursting
Unlike pneumatic fenders, which rely on internal pressure, foam fenders have no risk of bursting or deflation, enhancing operational safety and reliability.
Minimal Maintenance
Foam fenders require almost no maintenance, as they do not need air pressure monitoring, valve replacement, or frequent inspections.
Applications
Underwater Archaeology
Archaeological teams carefully employ air lift bags to raise delicate artifacts and structural elements from underwater excavation sites.
Bridge Construction and Repair
In bridge projects, air lift bags assist with positioning and installing underwater foundation elements and supporting temporary structures.
Dam Maintenance
Dam operators use air lift bags for inspecting and repairing underwater dam structures, gates, and intake systems.
