Hydro Pneumatic Fenders
Our hydro pneumatic fenders provide advanced underwater protection for submarines and naval vessels through innovative engineering. These specialized marine solutions utilize a precisely balanced combination of air and water (30%-70% adjustable ratio) with integrated counterweight systems to maintain optimal vertical positioning during all berthing operations. The pneumatic fenders’ unique design ensures continuous hull protection while accommodating various pressure settings to meet different operational requirements.
Engineered for superior performance, these hydropneumatic fenders offer exceptional energy absorption and adapt seamlessly to diverse hull contours. Their cost-effective design provides a reliable alternative to traditional solutions, featuring rapid deployment capabilities and minimal maintenance needs even in harsh marine environments. Each system is custom-designed through professional engineering analysis to match specific vessel requirements and berthing conditions.
Trusted by navies worldwide, our hydropneumatic fenders deliver unmatched protection through tailored solutions that combine technical precision with operational reliability.

Hydro-Pneumatic Fenders: Precision Protection Beneath the Waves – Engineered for Submarine Safety
Vertical Stability System
Counterweight-balanced design with adjustable ballasting maintains precise vertical alignment (±2° deviation) for consistent underwater hull protection.
Tunable Energy Absorption
Performance optimized via customizable air-water ratios (typically 30%-70%) and initial pressure settings for varying berthing conditions。
Low-maintenance deployment
Low-maintenance deployment unaffected by extreme climates, with flange ports for rapid water charging/discharging.
High-Pressure Resilience
Enhanced burst strength exceeding standard fenders with safety valves for overpressure protectio
