About
The Hydropneumatic Fender is a specialized version of the Pneumatic Fender, developed specifically for submarines. It is partially filled with water and air and includes an internal counterweight to maintain a vertical position. This design ensures continuous protection of the submerged hull during berthing.
Installation of Hydropneumatic Fenders requires specific techniques, as their performance depends on the air-to-water ratio and initial internal pressure.
ShibataFenderTeam welcomes your design input to help them engineer the appropriate type, size, and configuration of Hydropneumatic Fender tailored to your operational requirements.
