What is the difference between Pneumatic fenders and Yokohama fenders
What is the difference between Pneumatic fenders and Yokohama fenders? Pneumatic fenders or Yokohama fenders are actually both names for the same product. Pneumatic fenders are rubber fenders filled with air (hence the name pneumatic fenders). This type of rubber fender was first developed in 1958 by Yokohama. Since then it has become a widely used fender in shipping and in ports .
Yokohama type fenders are used in (sea) ports for mooring ships as well as on ships themselves. On ships, the fenders are often used as fencing in situations where ships (such as a bunker boat) come alongside to transfer cargo from one ship to another. In addition, pneumatic fenders are also often used in offshore projects or in the dredging industry.
Because pneumatic fenders are filled with air, the fenders float just like foam or foam-filled fenders. However there are also differences between both types of fenders. Also read about this; what are the differences between pneumatic (yokohama type) fenders and foam fenders
