HI-tech Hydropneumatic Fenders are a version of pneumatic fenders that are installed vertically instead of horizontally, specifically engineered to provide low reaction force on sensitive berthing for large-draft vessels and submarines with delicate hulls.
The fenders feature a unique design. The fender is partially filled with water and includes a counterweight system to ensure that they remain in a vertical position, providing continuous and reliable protection for the submerged hull during berthing operations.
