Pneumatic fenders offer significant energy absorption with minimal surface pressure impacting the ship, making them a preferred choice for protecting vessels. They are widely used by large tankers, LPG vessels, ocean platforms, bulk carriers, and floating structures, as well as major docks, harbors, and wharves.

Safety valves are a standard feature on all pneumatic fenders with dimensions starting from a diameter of 2500 mm and a length of 4000 mm.

For fenders operating at an internal pressure of 0.5 Bar (50 kPa), the safety valve is configured to activate at 175 kPa.

For fenders that maintain an internal pressure of 0.8 Bar (80 kPa), the activation setting of the safety valve is adjusted to 230 kPa.
