Cone Rubber Fender for Ports and Terminals – Low Reaction, High Performance

If your port handles ultra-large vessels such as VLCCs or LNG carriers, experiences significant tidal variations, or serves as a high-traffic terminal with continuous berthing operations—cone rubber fenders are your most reliable and high-performance solution.

Key Advantages of Cone Rubber Fenders Compared to Other Fender Types

Compared to traditional fender types, cone fenders deliver superior energy absorption, structural stability, and long-term performance, making them the preferred solution for modern port infrastructure.

1. Highest Energy Absorption to Reaction Force Ratio

Cone fenders offer significantly higher energy absorption with lower reaction forces compared to other types, such as arch or cell fenders, providing better protection for both the quay structure and the vessel hull.

2. Greater Deflection Capacity

With the ability to compress up to 70% of their height, cone fenders can absorb large amounts of impact energy without increasing in size—ideal for large vessel berthing.

3. Superior Stability and Shear Resistance

The wide base and conical shape offer excellent resistance to shear forces and torsion, outperforming traditional fenders in demanding berthing conditions.

4. Self-Centering Geometry

The conical design ensures the fender remains stable and properly aligned even under oblique or uneven berthing forces, minimizing structural stress.

5. Excellent for Tidal Variations and High-Frequency Berthing

Cone fenders are well-suited for ports with large tidal ranges or where vessels dock frequently. Their fatigue resistance and durability reduce long-term maintenance costs.

6. Optimized for Large Frontal Panels

Cone fenders are typically used with steel or UHMW-PE frontal panels, allowing pressure to be evenly distributed over the hull surface and reducing the risk of localized damage.

7. Extended Service Life

Manufactured using high-quality, UV-resistant, and marine-grade rubber compounds, cone fenders perform reliably over long periods in harsh marine environments.

Applications

• Container terminals and general cargo wharves
• Oil and gas berths
• RoRo and cruise terminals
• Offshore platforms
• Naval and defense ports
