Offshore Yokohama and Hippo Marine foam fenders

Yokohama pneumatic fenders and Hippo Marine foam-elastomer fenders are frequently used for offshore operations. Typical usage includes Ship-to-Ship operations (FPSO's, bunkering, oil and gas transfer, etc) and the protection of rigs. Usually it is hard for us to get pictures of the fenders we have supplied, so we need to rely on photographs kindly presented to us by FenderCare and Hippo Marine.

Original Yokohama fenders supplied by FenderCare
We have supplied lots of original Yokohama fenders for various projects, including FPSO and STS/bunkering operations. Unfortunately we do not have pictures of those projects available. The picture above shows a typical example of Yokohama fenders being used for STS operations.

This picture shows a project we did for a very unique project: the Blue H Submerged Deepwater Platform, of which the first large scale prototype was launched in December 2007. The Yokohama fenders are used to offer spare buoyancy as a safety feature.

The picture above (by kind courtesy of Mr. Ed van Wamel - Royal Dutch Navy) shows a 2.5 x 4.0 m foam-elastomer fender, which is carried permanently onboard the Hr.Ms. Rotterdam, a Landing Platform Dock vessel (LPD). Although not an oil related offshore operation, we have supplied this type of fenders to rigs and FPSO's.

Similarly to Yokohama fenders, foam-elastomer can be supplied with the FenderCare High Protection Cage as well. The picture shows a fender supplied to France in which we were not involved, although we have supplied similar fenders. Photograph by kind courtesy of Hippo Marine.
