Ship owners favor Qingdao Evergreen’s foam-filled fenders primarily due to their outstanding advantages in three key aspects:

1. Superior Structural Performance

Qingdao Evergreen’s foam-filled fenders feature closed-cell foam core combined with a polyurethane outer shell, ensuring sustained buoyancy and puncture resistance. Even if the outer layer is damaged, the fender maintains its protective function without losing buoyancy due to air leakage. Compared to traditional pneumatic fenders, this significantly reduces accidental risks during vessel berthing. The closed-cell foam absorbs impact energy through progressive compression, effectively reducing ship hull impact loads by up to 50%.

2. Exceptional Durability and Low Maintenance Costs

These fenders demonstrate exceptional adaptability to marine environments, resisting UV rays, salt spray, and extreme temperatures ranging from-30°C to 80°C, with a service life of 10–25 years—far exceeding that of conventional rubber fenders. Maintenance is minimal, requiring only periodic rinsing with fresh water, eliminating the need for frequent pressure checks or component replacements. For instance, a cruise terminal in the South China Sea reported a70% reduction in annual maintenance costs after adopting similar products.

3. Proven Technical Expertise and Comprehensive Services

As a specialized manufacturer of marine equipment, Qingdao Evergreen boasts extensive experience in developing shipboard fenders. Its technical team provides customized solutions tailored to different vessel types (e.g., Ultramax bulk carriers) and dock scenarios. The company offers end-to-end services, from product supply to installation guidance, ensuring high reliability in ports with intensive operations.

Additionally, Qingdao Evergreen’s foam-filled fenders are certified by the International Maritime Organization (IMO)and receive higher risk assessment scores from marine insurers, further solidifying ship owners’ confidence.
