A marine fender system protects ships and docks by absorbing kinetic energy during berthing and mooring. At OLIPORTS, we design fender solutions for ports and vessels worldwide. We divide our fender systems into Marine Port Fender Systems and Boat Fender Systems. This clear classification helps you select the right protection for your needs.
Marine Port Fender Systems
Marine Port Fender Systems are heavy-duty fenders. They provide superior protection for large vessels during docking operations. These fenders are installed at harbors to protect both ship and dock structures. Types include cone rubber fender and super cone fender systems, cell fender and super cell fender systems, arch fender and super arch fender systems, cylindrical rubber fenders, and pneumatic fender systems. Each bespoke design ensures durability, strength, and maximum energy absorption.
Super Cone Fenders
Super Cone fenders feature a strong conical design with a wide base and narrow top. This shape gives excellent stability, even under large compression angles. They are an advanced upgrade of super cell fenders and perform well in dynamic berthing conditions. OLIPORTS cone fenders can be combined with steel panels or UHMW-PE facing pads to reduce friction and protect vessel hulls.
Our cone fenders range from 300mm to 2000mm in diameter and height. The optimized structure allows higher energy absorption and greater deformation capacity. They maintain strong stability under angled compression and perform reliably above 10°C. Cone fenders suit container terminals, bulk carriers, and LNG docks. With customized rubber compounds, OLIPORTS cone fenders deliver long service life and excellent durability.
Super Arch Fenders
Super Arch Fenders feature a V-shaped arch design made from high-quality natural rubber. They usually include steel frames and UHMW-PE pads to reduce friction and protect vessel hulls. This design increases durability and extends fender service life. Arch fenders can be installed horizontally or vertically, making them ideal for berths, quay corners, and multi-purpose terminals.
At OLIPORTS, our Super Arch Fenders range from model OLA150 to OLA500, with lengths of 750–1000mm. We also supply UHMW-PE pads and high-strength bolts for complete installation. Designed for versatile berthing conditions, these fenders combine reliable energy absorption with low maintenance needs, ensuring safe and cost-effective port operations.
Super Cell Fenders
Super Cell Fenders feature a hollow cylindrical body that provides high energy absorption and low reaction force. They are widely used in heavy-duty marine applications to protect ships and quay walls. A typical system combines one or two cell fenders with UHMW-PE panels, secured using bolt-hole patterns, chains, or shackles. Two front panel options are available: closed panel for longer service life and stronger anti-corrosion, or opened panel for cost-effective use. Both can be customized according to project requirements.
At OLIPORTS, we supply Chinese-made Cell Fenders and complete Super Cell Fender Systems. Our models, OLC400 to OLC3000, range in height from 400mm to 3000mm. We also provide all system accessories, including steel frontal frames, U-rings, tension chains, weight chains, shackles, brackets, fixing bolts, and UHMW-PE pads. Designed and tested for demanding port environments, OLIPORTS ensures every fender system delivers reliable performance and long-term durability.
Yokohama Pneumatic Fenders
Floating Marine Yokohama Pneumatic Fenders are designed to absorb shock and reduce collision forces during berthing. They perform reliably in ship-to-ship and ship-to-quay operations. These fenders are widely used on large tankers, LNG carriers, ferries, and offshore platforms. With air-filled construction and cord reinforcement, they deliver high energy absorption and low reaction force, even under heavy loads.
At OLIPORTS, we supply three types of Yokohama Fenders for sale: Chain Tyre Net (CTN), Sling-Type, and Ribbed Type. Our fenders are available with two standard pressure ratings, 50 kPa and 80 kPa, and can reach sizes up to φ4500 × 12000L. All models comply with ISO 17357-1:2014 standards and are built for long-term performance in demanding marine conditions.
Boat Fender Systems
Boat Fender Systems are simpler in structure but very effective. They are mounted on the bow and stern of ships to reduce collision damage. Common types include square fenders, D fenders, delta fenders, keyhole fenders, tugboat cylindrical fenders, M fenders, and W fenders. OLIPORTS customizes these products with cutting, drilling, and chamfering services to meet your exact needs.
Square Rubber Fenders
Square rubber fenders, just like D-type fenders, Delta fenders and Cylindrical fenders belong to the family of simple extruded rubber fenders. Their structure and installation method are straightforward yet highly reliable. At OLIPORTS, we can provide additional processing such as pre-curving, chamfering, and pre-drilling to simplify your installation process. We can cut these fenders to any required length, making them highly versatile for marine use.
They serve tugboats, barges, workboats, and pilot boats as reliable side fenders. In this role, they reduce abrasion and protect hulls from heavy damage. Alternatively, you can mount them on quay walls with long steel straps and bolts. This setup provides strong and dependable protection against heavy-duty impacts.
D Type Rubber Fenders
D-Type rubber fenders are one of the most widely used simple fenders, alongside square, cylindrical, and delta (triangular) fenders. They are typically installed on the sides of vessels or quays using long steel strips and bolts, providing effective protection against collision damage.
At OLIPORTS, we manufacture and supply high-quality D Type Rubber Fenders from China, engineered with a blend of natural rubber (NR) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) to ensure durability and performance. Our range includes: DD Type Fenders, DC Type Fenders, DS Type Fenders.
All fenders are designed in-house and fully comply with major classification societies (CCS, ABS) and international standards (SGS, ISO). We also provide customized services, including: Pre-drilled holes for easy installation, Angle cuts and pre-curved profiles, Cutting to required lengths.
Tugboat Cylindrical Rubber Fenders for Bow & Stern
Tugboat rubber fenders with a cylindrical profile are widely used as simple yet highly effective protection systems for the bow and stern of tugboats. Installed along the pushing edges, they provide reliable collision resistance during berthing, escorting, and pushing maneuvers.
At OLIPORTS, we manufacture cylindrical Tug Bow and Stern Rubber Fenders using a special winding process, achieving diameters up to 1000 mm for heavy-duty applications. Our cylindrical tug fenders reach lengths of up to 12 meters, so they fit many tug and workboat needs. In addition, you can order them with tapered ends, which improve attachment to vessels and reduce installation effort. Moreover, we can add grooves, which allow secure fixing with chains or nylon straps.
Often, these fenders work together with Keyhole, M, or W fenders on the bow. This combination creates a strong fendering system, withstands heavy impacts, and extends vessel service life. With proven performance and flexible customization options, OLIPORTS delivers reliable tugboat fender solutions that meet the demands of the global maritime industry.
M Type Rubber Fenders
M Type Fenders are manufactured from highly durable molded rubber, designed to provide reliable protection for tugboats, workboats, and quay corners. Typically produced in lengths up to 2000 mm, these fenders are easy to install using three standard openings with fixing pins. For fender lengths exceeding one meter, additional openings can be provided for support strips, ensuring secure attachment. OLIPORTS supplies M Type Fenders in various lengths, with the option of angle cuts for customized applications.
The unique M-shaped profile offers excellent flexibility and adaptability. The wide, resilient contact surface effectively distributes impact forces, while the grooved top section enhances grip and stability. The three flexible legs ensure strong adhesion and allow the fender to closely follow the contour of the bow or stern, making it especially suitable for vessels that require frequent pushing or berthing operations. In addition, M Type Fenders are equally effective when installed on dock or pontoon corners, providing all-round durability and dependable performance in harsh marine environments.
