Cell Fenders

Supreme Rubber’s Cell Fenders are robust, high-performance fendering systems engineered to absorb large berthing forces from large vessels, container ships, tankers, and bulk carriers. Their distinctive cylindrical body and flared head design provide superior energy absorption with a wide contact area, reducing hull pressure and increasing safety during docking operations. These fenders are ideal for ports and terminals requiring long service life, low maintenance, and high deflection performance under demanding tidal and impact conditions.

Key Features:

  • High energy absorption with low reaction force – ideal for high-tonnage vessels
  • Stable performance under large deflection (up to 55% compression)
  • Wide frontal contact area minimizes hull pressure
  • Resilient, weather-resistant rubber compounds (Natural Rubber or synthetic blends)
  • Typically supplied with a frontal panel system using UHMW-PE face pads to reduce shear
  • Standard sizes: Fender diameters from 500 mm to 2,000 mm
  • Anchoring options: bolt-through or embedded base with steel reinforcements
  • Highly resistant to UV, ozone, saltwater, and marine weathering

Applications:

  • Oil and gas terminals
  • Container and bulk cargo berths
  • LNG and offshore platforms
  • Naval ports and cruise terminals
  • High tidal range ports
