ISO 17357-1:2014 Pneumatic Floating Rubber Fender | RFQ Sourcing Details

Product overview This cylindrical pneumatic floating rubber fender is intended for offshore ship-to-ship transfers and permanent or semi-permanent port installations. The listed construction uses natural rubber with synthetic tire-cord reinforcement, while the also identify high-tensile nylon wire as reinforcement.

Available configurations include 50 k. Pa and 80 k. Pa initial pressure and an optional chain-and-tire net cover. Sizes and rated data The stated diameter range is 300 to 4,500 mm, with lengths from 500 to 12,000 mm. A listed standard-size range is 0.5 × 1.0 m through 4.5 × 12.0 m, and special sizes may be customized.

Published performance tables cover multiple D × L combinations and provide reaction force, energy absorption, and hull-pressure values for both initial-pressure options. For example, the listed 1,000 × 2,000 mm model is rated at 257 kN reaction force, 45 k. Nm energy absorption, and 132 kN/m² hull pressure at 50 k.

Pa;at 80 k. Pa, the corresponding figures are 338 kN, 63 k. Nm, and 174 kN/m². Standards and supply information The fender is stated to be manufactured, built, and tested in accordance with ISO 17357-1:2014.

The product information lists BV, CCS, ABS, and DNV certification, while another section states that DNV.GL, BV, CCS, ABS, and LR certificates are available.

Because certificate scope can vary by model and order, buyers should confirm the exact certificate, issuing body, validity, and relationship to the selected fender before purchase. The stated minimum order quantity is one piece.

Listed production capacity is 36,000 pieces per year, with supply ability stated as 3,000 pieces per month. The indicated lead time is 20 days for orders of one to ten pieces and subject to negotiation for larger quantities.

A 36-month warranty is listed, but its start date, coverage, exclusions, and claim procedure should be confirmed in the contract.

Procurement questions to confirm Before specifying a fender, confirm the vessel or berth conditions, required diameter and length, selected initial pressure, required reaction force and energy absorption, allowable hull pressure, and whether a chain-and-tire net is needed.

Buyers should also request the performance table and test documentation for the exact selected size rather than applying data from another model.

Confirm rubber construction details, reinforcement arrangement, valve and accessory scope, dimensional tolerances, inspection requirements, certificate coverage, packing method, gross shipping weight, delivery schedule, warranty terms, and acceptance criteria in the purchase specification.
