High-performance fenders

Protection of ships and structures from damage caused by impact and abrasion is a constant challenge for vessel builders, owners and marina and dock operators – all of whom rely on durable, long-lasting and reliable fenders. This is made more difficult by the conditions under which fenders often need to operate. Coping with the combined effect of salt water, metal corrosion, UV exposure, rough or deteriorating contact surfaces, and vessel impact.

For over 35 years, Derby Rubber has manufactured a wide range of marine fenders for a host of demanding applications.

Our marine fender range (available in black, non-marking grey, and non-marking white) has been specially designed for long life in marine environments and for maximum return on installation costs. We also provide a wide range of associated rubber components to the boating and ship-building industry including waterproof and airproof gaskets, hatch seals, noise isolation, vibration control, and tubing, as well as protective components for wharf operators and marina owners.
