ISO 17357-2:2014 specifies requirements for low-pressure floating pneumatic rubber fenders (initial pressure typically 7 kPa), including clamped end type (≤2.3m diameter) and moulded end type (≥2.8m diameter). It defines material specifications, performance criteria (GEA at 60±5% deflection), dimensional tolerances, and essential tests (air leakage ≤10 mbar/60min, durability, compression recovery). The standard ensures fenders safely absorb berthing energy while maintaining structural integrity in marine environments.

A rubber fender (also called a marine fender) is a critical safety device made of specialized rubber, used in ports, docks, and ships to absorb impact energy during vessel berthing (docking) or ship-to-ship operations. Its primary purpose is to protect both the vessel and the dock structure from dam

In maritime operations, mooring systems are essential for ensuring the safe and secure docking of vessels at ports, harbors, and terminals. These systems prevent ships from drifting due to tidal currents, wind, or wave action, thus protecting both vessels and port infrastructure.
