Fender Service

We understand the importance of maintaining optimal performance and safety for your fenders. Our fender services are tailored for ship owners and shipyards that want to ensure the reliability of their Yokohama-type fenders.

What is a fender service?

A fender service is an essential maintenance activity for fenders. While a Yokohama-type fender is designed for long life with minimal maintenance, there are components that are still prone to wear, corrosion, and potential damage. Regular inspections, air filling, and, if necessary, servicing or component replacement are therefore necessary.

Why fender service is important?

Fender service is crucial for optimizing the functionality, safety, and lifespan of the fenders. By conducting inspections, one can detect and address corrosion, holes, or malfunctions that could cause serious harm to both personnel and equipment. Fender service helps avoid excessive pressure build-up and potential explosions.

Service and Maintenance ensure your fender is always "Fit for Fight"

How fender service is conducted:

Testing, calibration, and more for your safety 

At regular service intervals, typically every 2-3 years, testing and calibration of the safety valve are performed according to the ISO 17357:2014 standard.

This involves deflating the fender, disassembling and testing the safety valve in a controlled environment. After calibration, the valve is reassembled and the fender is inflated with air.

If necessary, the air filling valve can also be replaced to ensure tightness and optimal function. Parts such as chains and tyres can also be replaced in cases of significant corrosion or damage.

External conditions can influence maintenance frequency and fender performance. Read the article "The Implications of Wind and Weather When Choosing Fenders".

MarLog also offers repair services for related products, such as buoys. Read more about buoyancy buoys and buoy repair.

The cost of fender service:

Tailored to your needs and the size of your fenders

The cost of fender service varies depending on the scope of work and the size of the fender. Smaller services like calibration of the safety valve can cost around 15,000 NOK, while larger service tasks and part replacement can reach up to 100,000 NOK per fender. For extensive service jobs, a cost-benefit assessment should be made compared to purchasing a new fender. It is recommended to clarify documentation requirements and the estimated timeframe in advance.
