1. INTRODUCTION
The "Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fender" was developed in 1958 based on a rubber
company's technology for automobile tires and rubber aircraft fuel tanks. Progress
in the development of such floating pneumatic rubber fenders is closely related to the
COMPLIANCE WITH

progress and development of ship technology, and has to continuously cope with
ISO17357-1:2014
INTRODUCTION

progressively larger oil tankers such as VLCC's, ULCC's, large gas carriers, bulk
carriers and floating structures. Floating pneumatic fenders are used world wide for
ship-to-ship (STS) transfer operations, terminals, and for all kinds of ships. Since its
creation until today, more than 60,000 fenders have been supplied worldwide both for
ship-to-ship and ship-to-dock operations serving our valuable customers.
These fenders play a critical role in the safe operation of ship berthing and mooring.

2. COMPLIANCE WITH ISO17357-1: 2014


ISO17357:2002, “the standard of high pressure of floating pneumatic rubber fenders”,
had been published in 2002 under growing needs for international standardization
specified material, performance and dimensions of floating pneumatic fenders to prevent
variety of originally designed products with low quality had been introduced into the
market.
In 2014, ISO17357:2002 had been renewed as 1st edition of ISO17357-1:2014 to
strengthen its standard concerning design, material and certification of floating
pneumatic fender.
Although the structure is maintained from ISO17357: 2002 to ISO17357-1: 2014 as shown
in Fig , new requirements and new design listed below are added in ISO17357-1:2014
aiming at higher berthing operation safe.
The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd. confirms that its Pneumatic Rubber Fenders,
Pneumatic P50 & P80, fully comply with all requirements of ISO17357-1:2014.

3. ADVANTAGES

3.1 Safety and Reliability


Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders are constructed of several layers of strong
tire-cord, and are thus resistant to pressure and cutting. The safety factor adopted in the
ADVANTAGES

design of this fender is based on accepted theory and has been proven by extensive
experimentation. Operational experience over a long period of time attests to its high
safety and reliability, and hydraulic pressure tests have proven the strength to be suitable.
Furthermore, large-size fenders are equipped with a safety valve to release the inside air
in the event of accidental over-pressure. The figure below shows data obtained from many
destructive pressure tests at various percentage compressions. Such data are used to
establish a basic minimum endurable pressure (MEP) curve for pneumatic rubber fenders.

3.2 No Deterioration or Variation in Performance
Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders utilize the compressive elasticity of air, therefore
performance deterioration due to fatigue is absent.

ADVANTAGES
In the case of solid rubber fenders or foam-filled fenders, based on data were taken
from comparison tests of Yokohama Fenders, there are variations in performance. Such
performance variations are associated to changes of rubber or foam hardness occurring
as a result of cyclic compression and temperature change.

In the case of Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders, if the pressure is maintained


properly, such variations are absent.

Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders also fully comply with the durability test required
by ISO17357-1: 2014. After 3000 repetitive cycles, there must be no cracks or other
harmful defects on any part of the fender. Any reduction of the guaranteed energy
absorption (GEA) is not accepted.

3.3 Advantages at Inclined Berthing
Ships usually make initial contact with the dock or another ship on STS operations at an
oblique angle. In the case of solid rubber fenders or foam fenders, rated reaction force
ADVANTAGES

and energy absorption decreases considerably at inclined compressions compared with


parallel compression. In order to compensate for the decrease of energy absorption at
inclined compression, it is necessary to use larger sizes in the case of solid rubber
fenders or foam fenders.

Fig.3-6 Load Distribution at Inclined Berthing for Pneumatic, Solid and Foam Fender

Distribution of load is also comparatively even because of the molecular freedom of air
and high flexibility of the multi-layered cord-reinforced rubber membrane. This makes
the body of a pneumatic rubber fender more shape conformant compared to solid or
foam fenders, and thus able to better distribute the load along the hull of a ship or jetty
structure during inclined compression.

YOKOHAMA PNEUMATIC FLOATING FENDERS 50 & 80 5


3.4 Most Cost Competitive System
The utilization of the compressive elasticity of air, unlike other fenders which need
protector panels, provides completely uniform surface pressure on contact, making

ADVANTAGES
Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders ideal. The surface pressure of the Yokohama
Pneumatic Rubber Fenders is equal to the internal air pressure. The pressure of some
is below 150kN/m2 (15 ton/m2). Due to low and uniform surface pressure properties,
the Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders are popular at LNG-ship terminals.

3.5 Soft Reaction Force for Ship and Jetty Structure
Although all fenders should be used within their maximum load limit, it often happens that
fenders accidentally receive excess load. The reaction force of Yokohama Pneumatic
ADVANTAGES

Rubber Fenders does not increase sharply, even under excess load conditions.
Therefore, the Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders perform well in such cases, and
protect ships and mooring facilities. In contrast, the reaction force of solid rubber fenders,
including buckling-type fenders, increases sharply under excess load conditions.
The excess load turns the solid-type fender into a solid rubber block, which cannot
perform as a fender. This often leads to damage of the ship and mooring facilities.

Fig.3-9 above compares the reaction force generated by a typical solid rubber fender to a
pneumatic rubber fender at different compression stages during a typical berthing
operation. The curves are derived from the performance of a solid rubber fender and a
pneumatic rubber fender with the same energy absorption performance. Points A', B', C',
and D' along the reaction curve for the pneumatic fender represent matching energy
absorption performance at point A, B, C, and D on the reaction curve for the solid rubber
fender.

The table below compares the typical reaction loads and hull pressure imposed by solid
and pneumatic type fenders at various compression stages, and it can be seen that the
Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders are ideal as fender system because of gentle
treatment of ships.

3.6 Lower Mooring Forces under Rough Weather Conditions
During mooring under rough weather conditions such as high waves and strong wind,
large ship motions are induced by high waves, long period waves or a resonant effect

ADVANTAGES
between the natural period of a ship and the predominant period of the waves.
This movement results in compression and shearing forces on fenders. The reaction
force and deflection of solid-type fenders under rough weather conditions easily
reaches their respective maximums. Therefore, repeated compression with shearing
force resulting from the movement of ships causes fatigue and often damages
solid-type fenders. On the other hand, the reaction force and deflection of Yokohama
Pneumatic Rubber Fenders do not easily reach the maximum because the reaction
force increases slowly and allowable deflection is wide. Thus, the Yokohama Pneumatic
Rubber Fenders safely protect ships and mooring facilities even under rough weather
conditions.
The use of Pneumatic Rubber Fenders sometimes eliminates the necessity of
constructing a breakwater in the harbor. There are many studies and reports relating to
the above subjects. SWAY

3.7 Stronger against Shearing Force
After contacting a dock, a ship is usually shifted to the correct mooring position. The
shifting exerts shearing and compression forces on the fenders. This combined force is
ADVANTAGES

very severe in the case of solid rubber fenders because they are not reinforced against
such force. In contrast, Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders are adequately
reinforced using strong tire-cord to cope against such forces as well as internal
pressure.

3.8 Adaptable to the Tide


Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders basically float on the water in an unrestricted
vertical plane corresponding to the tidal range and ship's vertical movement.
This means that energy absorption always takes place at the most suitable position, and
that only one fender is required per dolphin.

3.9 Simple and Low Cost Installation
The weight of Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders
is supported by the water on which it floats.

ADVANTAGES
Therefore, the fender can be moored simply by
means of a guy rope or chain, requiring minimal extra
cost. It can be removed easily to a suitable jetty or
quay when not in use, or transferred to another
mooring point whenever required.

Rubber Fenders installed at a dolphin

3.10 Low Maintenance Cost


Maintenance cost is very low. Although the internal pressure will vary with seasonal
changes, the air leakage is so minimal that it is sufficient to check the air pressure only
once a year. The chain net needs to be replaced only once in 3 or 4 years, depending
on ambient conditions.

3.11 Shipping Cost Minimization


In order to minimize the shipping cost of Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders, the
fenders are usually packed and shipped in containers or on pallets in vacuumed and
folded down state.

resistant material for various under water applications. The
pneumatic design of the Globuoy makes it easy to handle
and launch due to its light weight. Also, because of the
flexible reinforced rubber body, it is less prone to damaging
or being damaged by the decks or hulls of vessels. It is a
non-collapsible buoy in case of over-submergence.

5. BASIC CONSTRUCTION

The Floating-type Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders are kind of a cylindrical air bag
with hemispherical heads at both ends. Basic body construction of this fender consists of
an outer rubber layer, cord layers and an inner rubber layer. All of these are vulcanized
together, and then proven by hydraulic pressure test.

5.1 Outer Rubber


The outer rubber layer protects the cord layers and inner rubber layer from abrasion and
other external forces. This compound has sufficient tensile and tear strength to withstand
any weather condition and hard usage as shown in Table 5-1. Standard color is black, but
other colors such as grey and creamy white are available on request.
CONSTRUCTION

5.2 Synthetic-tire-cord Layer


The reinforcement cord layers, which are made of Synthetic-tire-cord, are arranged at
ideal angles to hold the internal pressure and to distribute the stress evenly. As the main
BASIC

fibers of the synthetic-tire-cord are not braided like synthetic canvas fabric or synthetic
belt fabric as shown in Fig.5-2, there are advantages for its fatigue-resistance performance
and pressure-holding performance.

5.3 Inner Rubber


The inner rubber layer seals the air inside, utilizing a compound equivalent to that of the
liner or tube of an automobile tire. The specifications are shown in Table 5-1.

5.5 Turn-up System
The reinforcement cord layers are turned upward around a bead, which is built-in near
the flange opening, except for small sized fenders. This system was originally invented
for automobile tires and is quite reliable for distributing loads evenly without any
concentration of stress on cord layers.

5.6 Air Valve and Safety Valve


Medium and small sized Floating-type Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders are
equipped with a small air valve, which is the same in size and construction as the air
valve of an automobile tire. This valve serves as both air-check, air charge and release
valve. On the large size fenders, the small air valve, a globe valve and a safety valve are
equipped, the small valve serves for an air-check, the globe valve having a one touch
joint coupler serves for air charge and release, and the safety valve serves for releasing

6.3 Safety Design and Pressure Requirements
6.3.1 Over-compression
The guaranteed energy absorption of Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders is the energy
absorption at 60% deflection. This figure should be observed in engineering design and in
actual operation. However, even if the fender is accidentally over-deflected beyond this
guaranteed value, the Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fender has a wide safety margin as
shown in Fig.6-4 and Table 6-5 below. These curves and table express the capacity for
energy absorption and reaction force until the time of ultimate deflection when the
deflection of fender reach the largest diameter of mouthpiece metal parts. This is shown
by using the guaranteed energy absorption and reaction force as the index value of 1.
The figures and table show the wide safety margin of our pneumatic fenders in absorbing
energy and low reaction force.

The minimum endurable pressures at 0% compression and 60% compression are the
most important parameter in the design of a pneumatic fender. Therefore, more than
twenty prototype fenders have been burst to establish the design standard to keep this
pressure strength for all Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders.

6.4 Fender Compression Speed
Performance requirements of reaction force and energy absorption for Yokohama
Pneumatic Rubber Fenders are basically evaluated for static conditions with a constant
slow compression speed of 0.001m/s. However, during actual ship berthing operations,
the Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders are dynamically compressed at speeds over
0.05m/s. The Fig.6-6 below shows the effect of compression speed at 60% deflection
against the static rated values on reaction force and energy absorption. The reaction force
and energy absorption increase together with compression rate. In actual ship berthing
conditions those values are about 20% higher compared to those of static compression.

6.5 Temperature Effect


The performance of Yokohama Pneumatic Rubber Fenders is engineered based on air
pressure. Therefore, the performance of the fenders is stable relative to temperature
variations when the initial internal pressure is set to be the specified pressure.

7. FENDER SELECTION

7.1 Ship-to-Ship
The fender selection procedure for ship-to-ship operations is outlined below.
Two ship types, sizes and weather conditions such as Calm, Moderate and Rough are
initially confirmed.

7.1.1 OCIMF Table Selection


Equivalent displacement coefficient ; ''C'' is calculated, and fenders are selected tentatively
by using the table in OCIMF Ship-to-Ship Transfer Guide ; ''OCIMF Table Selection'',
Table 7-1. In this case, initial internal pressure of the fender shall be 50kPa (Pneumatic
50). The selections are designed based on Calm weather condition, therefore if the
weather is confirmed as Calm, the fender system can be simply selected from the tables.

7.1.2 Berthing Energy Selection
Berthing energy of the two ships is then calculated ; "Berthing Energy Selection".
If energy absorption capacity of the tentative selected fender (Ef) is larger than the
calculated berthing energy (E), it is confirmed that a suitable fender selection has been
made. If the fender energy absorption capacity is less than the calculated berthing
energy, the tentatively selected fender shall be upgraded.

7.1.4 Equivalent Displacement Coefficient


The equivalent displacement coefficient will vary depending on each ship particulars
and the type of Ship-to-Ship operation. The three types of Ship-to-Ship operations are
described in Table 7-2 below.

It is obvious from Fig.7-2 below that ship’s displacement at the ordinary lightering or the
reverse lightering operation is smaller compared to that for the full-full berthing,
however, at the severest condition when the two vessels are both almost full, the
displacement become similar to condition of the full-full berthing and therefore the
fender system should be selected considering the full-full berthing even in case of the
ordinary lightering and the reverse lightering operation.

7.1.5 Berthing Energy
The berthing energy needs to be calculated considering weather conditions, categorized
by the three conditions Calm, Moderate and Rough, and the approaching velocities to
calculate the berthing energy are assumed to be as shown in Table 7-3 and Fig.7-3.
These are obtained from various industry references and standards. The three different
weather conditions are defined by sea state and significant wave height as shown in
Table 7-3.
This table shows figures for tankers, but it can be applied to other kinds of ships, if their
virtual weights correspond to those in the table.

7.1.6 Safety factor
A safety factor (SF) value from 1.0 to 2.0 for the berthing energy shall be considered for
abnormal berthing conditions.

7.1.7 Fender upgrade


When the fenders need to be upgraded, increasing the fender diameter is preferable.
Increasing the length or initial internal pressure from pressure 50kPa to 80kPa is not
recommended. If the length or internal pressure is increased, the reaction force and energy
absorption are increased. However, the gradient of the curves become steeper without
providing any significant increase in allowable compression capacity as shown in Fig.7-4.
On the other hand, in the case of using a larger diameter fender keeping the pressure
50kPa, the performance curves of the fenders have almost the same gradient, and the
allowable compression capacity is increased. Therefore the larger diameter fender is
preferable to keep safe stand-off distance between two ships during berthing and mooring.

7.1.8 Fender Selection Tables


Tables 7.4 through 7.9 show the fender selection tables for various kinds of tankers
coming alongside lightering ships at three weather conditions; Calm, Moderate and
Rough, for each ship size. In the tables, the berthing energy, equivalent displacement
coefficient and suitable fender system for each case are indicated. This table shows
figures for tankers, but it can be applied to other kinds of ships if their virtual weights
correspond to those in the table.

In the tables, a safety factor SF=1.0 is used, but if a higher SF value is to be considered,
the energy value is to be multiplied by the desired SF value and the fender selected
according to the revised energy value.

7.1.9 Fender Selection by Numerical Simulation for Two Ships Berthing and Mooring
Fender quantity and size will be determined by calculating the berthing energy, derived
from the calculated virtual mass and the relative berthing speed between the two ships.

In some cases large ship motions are induced by waves, wind and current.
Consequently, excess loads are given to the fenders. In severe weather conditions,
fenders used for ship berthing or ship mooring need to be selected after a more thorough
investigation of the ship's motions under dynamic conditions. Furthermore, when two
ships are moored together during STS operations, not only the fenders but also the
system of mooring lines needs to be studied as it has the important role of keeping a
proper standoff distance between the two ships.

The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd. developed the numerical simulation software IAMOS
(Integrated Approach, Mooring and Operation Simulation for Ship/FPSO to Ship
Operation), and will provide the analysis for customers on special request. Fig.7-5
through 7-8 show details of the IAMOS process.

7.2 Ship-to-Jetty
The selection of a pneumatic fender system (sizes and installation methods) for a jetty is
determined based on several design parameters for each ship berthing and mooring
condition.

7.2.1 Fender Selection for Berthing and Mooring of Ships


Ship size and condition, as well as berthing velocity are at first determined.
Then berthing energy "E" is calculated, and a fender is selected based on the berthing
energy requirement.

A safety factor (SF) value from 1.0 to 2.0 for the berthing energy shall be considered for
abnormal berthing conditions. Fender selection procedure for ship-to-jetty operations is
illustrated as Fig.7-9 below.

7.2.2 Berthing Energy Tables
Tables 7-11 through 7-17 show the berthing energy for various kinds of ships and sizes
at different approaching speeds corresponding to Calm, Moderate and Rough weather
conditions as shown in Table 7-10.

In the tables, a safety factor SF=1.0 is used, and if a higher SF value is to be considered,
the energy value is to be multiplied by the desired SF.

Table 7-10 shows figures for tankers, but it can be applied to other kinds of ships, if their
virtual weights correspond to those in the table.

7.2.3 Fender Selection by Numerical Simulation for Ship Motions Moored along Jetty
Fender quantity and size will be determined by calculating the berthing energy, derived
from the calculated virtual mass and berthing speed.

During mooring of a ship, large ship motions are induced by waves, especially long-period
waves and harbor oscillations, and in some cases breaking accident of mooring lines or
fenders occur. In order to check for a suitable fender and mooring system under severe
weather conditions, a computer simulation for evaluating ship motions and mooring loads
on fenders and mooring lines under dynamic condition should be conducted.

The YOKOHAMA RUBBER CO., LTD. developed the numerical simulation software
IMOS (Integrated Mooring and Operation Simulation for Ship to Jetty Operation) and will
provide the analysis for customers on special request. Fig.7-10 through 7-14 show
details of the IMOS.

8. SHIP-TO-SHIP APPLICATIONS

8.1 Installation examples


Four large-size fenders are usually floated at the water line as primary fenders to absorb
impact energy at berthing and keep proper stand-off distance between two ships.
Two small-size fenders (secondary fenders) are hung high on the hull at both bow and
stern of smaller ship to prevent contact from rolling of ships due to swell and wind. "STS
Transfer Guide", published by CDI, ICS, OCIMF, SIGTTO, is a good reference for further
information. Fig.8-1and 8-2 show the installation examples.

11. PRECAUTIONS ON HANDLING

(1) Because the pneumatic rubber fender is usually shipped in deflated condition (as
shown in the pictures below), it should be immediately inflated to the pressure 20∼
  30kPa upon arrival at its destination.

(2) When storing the fender more than three months without use, reduce internal pressure
to about half of initial pressure (20∼30kPa) so that the pressure will not rise too high
due to a rise in the atmospheric temperature. Do not deflate or fold.

(3) For further instructions about handling, please refer to the handling and maintenance
manual that is provided with each fender purchase, or please contact The Yokohama
Rubber Co., Ltd for assistance.
