Boats and vessels

What types of vessels can AIS provide protection for?
- Fendering can be designed for commercial vessels, workboats, crew transfer vessels, pilot boats, rescue vessels, RIBs, high-speed vessels and yachts.
Can AIS provide custom vessel fendering?
- Yes. With in-house manufacture, AIS fendering can be tailored to the vessel’s hull shape, dimensions, operating conditions and required level of impact protection.
What materials are used for marine fendering?
- Common materials include polyurethane, polyurea, polyethylene foam and rubber, depending on the application and performance requirements.
Can fendering protect the vessel’s paintwork and finish?
- Yes. Non-marking fender materials can help prevent scuffs, scratches and other surface damage during contact.
Are marine fenders lightweight?
- Yes. Foam-based vessel fenders can be significantly lighter than traditional rubber fenders, making them easier to handle and potentially reducing vessel weight.
How long do AIS vessel fenders last?
- Service life depends on the design, material, operating environment and frequency of impact, but marine-grade fendering is designed for demanding and repeated use.
Can fendering be replaced or repaired?
- Yes. Many systems can be designed for efficient replacement, helping reduce maintenance time and vessel downtime.
