Foam Filled Fenders - Shipyard and Dry Dock Equipment
Foam-filled fenders are buoyant marine fenders used to protect ships, quay walls, floating docks, dry docks, and shipyard structures during berthing or handling. They use a closed-cell foam core with a tough elastomeric outer skin.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Foam Filled Fenders for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Performance is normally specified by manufacturer test data and project requirements. PIANC marine fender guidance may be used for design. ISO 17357 applies to pneumatic rubber fenders and is not generally applicable to foam-filled fenders. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Classification society approval is project- and application-specific. DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, and ClassNK may review or approve fender arrangements when required by the vessel, port, dock, or project specification. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Install according to the approved arrangement drawing and manufacturer instructions. Verify fender dimensions, attachment points, chains, shackles, clearances, and design reaction loads before commissioning. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect regularly for cuts, abrasion, coating damage, deformation, loose fittings, chain wear, and water ingress. Clean with fresh water after heavy contamination and replace damaged hardware or severely worn fenders. |
| Safety Notes | Keep personnel clear of the fender and line-of-fire areas during berthing, dry-dock movement, and tensioning. Use certified lifting gear and rated shackles, and never exceed the approved compression, reaction, or mooring loads. |
