Foam Filled Fenders for Reliable Marine Protection

Lion Rubber’s foam filled fenders are designed to protect vessels during ship-to-ship transfers and ship-to-dock berthing. Constructed from a high-resistance foam core and a tough outer skin, these floating fenders are unsinkable, even if the outer shell becomes punctured.
Lion Rubber’s foam filled fenders are designed to protect vessels during ship-to-ship transfers and ship-to-dock berthing. Constructed from a high-resistance foam core and a tough outer skin, these floating fenders are unsinkable, even if the outer shell becomes punctured.
As a reliable alternative to pneumatic fenders, these marine fenders offer impressive durability, easy handling, and consistent performance in challenging marine environments. They have earned a reputation for providing dependable protection across a wide range of applications, making them an ideal long-term marine solution.

What Are Foam Filled Fenders?

Foam filled fenders are advanced marine fendering systems designed to protect vessels and port structures during berthing and docking. Unlike traditional rubber or pneumatic fenders, they use a solid closed-cell foam core that makes them completely unsinkable, even if the outer surface is punctured.
Their construction is simple yet highly effective. The outer elastomer skin provides a tough, abrasion-resistant layer to withstand repeated impacts and harsh marine conditions. Inside, the closed-cell foam core absorbs energy efficiently while preventing water ingress. Many designs also include an internal reinforcement layer, adding extra strength and extending service life.
Simply put, these floating fenders act like resilient cushions — tough outside, flexible inside — absorbing impact without transferring force to vessels or docks. Compared to conventional pneumatic fenders, these marine fenders require little to no maintenance, offer a longer operational life, and perform reliably without air inflation. This makes them especially valuable in remote or offshore environments where downtime can be costly.
