Supreme Rubber’s Offshore Platform Shear Fenders are engineered to absorb lateral (shear) impact forces during crew transfer vessel (CTV), supply boat, and service vessel approaches to offshore structures such as wind turbines, oil & gas platforms, and substation jackets. These fenders operate primarily through horizontal shear deflection, providing robust and repeatable protection at boat landing zones where vertical compression is restricted. Designed for long-term offshore exposure, our shear fenders ensure safe berthing, extended structural life, and minimal maintenance.
Key Features:
- Optimized for lateral deflection – ideal for boat landing zones
- Compact profile – suits narrow access points and jacket members
- Manufactured from premium marine-grade Natural Rubber or Neoprene
- High energy absorption with low reaction force
- Excellent resistance to UV, ozone, saltwater, and marine growth
- Mounting options:
- Welded or bolted to jacket legs
- Integrated with steel backing plates
- Flush or offset installation based on impact zone
Applications:
- Offshore wind turbine transition piece landings
- Oil & gas platform riser guards and jacket faces
- Subsea structure entry points for CTVs and SOVs
- FPSO or FLNG near-field access fendering
- Dynamic positioning zones at boat landing ladders
