Palfinger Marine pneumatic fenders are manufactured and tested in accordance with ISO 17357:2014. This is the only standard ensuring the high quality of fenders. Our fenders are suitable for all marine conditions and built to withstand the harsh forces involved in STS operations.

Our fenders have a three-layer body (as per ISO 17357:2014): outer layer, tire cord and inner layer. The fenders have a standard internal pressure of 50kPa and can also be delivered with 80kPa.

NPF series fenders can be delivered with class certification (ABS/DNV).

At Palfinger Marine, we have a strong focus on developing the fender business further to meet the demands of tomorrow. Next to high quality, innovation is one of our main objectives. We are now introducing our new Palfinger Marine davit system to customers worldwide.

The NFD series covers all the most popular types of pneumatic fenders.

The davits are built on the same successful formula as the Harding lifesaving series, as a totally enclosed construction with all vulnerable components protected inside the davit structure.

Our davit system is developed to provide our customers with a davit alternative that offers low maintenance costs and safe operation in harsh conditions.

Our foam-filled fenders are composed of reinforced fender skin, closed cell foam core and internal steel through-pipe. The swivel structure at both ends allows the ends to fit and rotate freely on the axis of the fender.

Whether you need the full package for STS operations or you require the necessary roping for hanging your sling fender on the ship’s side, Palfinger Marine will assist you in finding the best solution.
