Element Fenders

Supreme Rubber’s Element Fenders are a modular, high-performance marine fendering system designed to offer exceptional energy absorption and low reaction force in demanding berthing applications. Composed of two parallel rubber legs (elements) and a frontal panel, this fender system provides excellent stability and flexibility—making it ideal for terminals handling large vessels such as bulk carriers, tankers, and container ships. Their modularity allows for custom energy absorption characteristics by varying the rubber element height, length, and quantity, offering a tailored solution for each berth.

Key Features:

  • High energy absorption and low hull pressure
  • Modular design allows flexible configuration based on vessel size and berthing energy
  • Available in multiple heights and lengths (typically 500 mm to 1600 mm)
  • Durable marine-grade Natural Rubber or synthetic compounds
  • Engineered for large deflection and high fatigue resistance
  • Supplied with steel or composite frontal panels fitted with UHMW-PE pads
  • Optional chain systems and load-bearing anchors for secure installation
  • Highly resistant to UV, ozone, seawater, and environmental wear

Applications:

  • Deepwater ports and container terminals
  • Oil and gas berths
  • LNG and LPG facilities
  • Bulk cargo and Ro-Ro docks
  • Cruise terminals and navy piers

Element Fenders are ideal for new quay constructions or upgrades, and are available as complete systems including rubber elements, frontal panel assemblies, chains, anchors, and fasteners.
