A fender is a protective body intended to prevent damage to the outer skin of a ship during port maneuvers and when lying against the quay wall or in a pack (ship to ship).

The fender is positioned between the ship and the quay wall or jetty, or between two ships, in such a way that it serves as a shock absorber on the one hand and as a spacer on the other, so that the ship’s hull does not chafe.

We coat fenders to significantly extend their life.
