SEA CUSHIONS.® The tough foam filled fenders with the soft touch.

Whether you're a vessel owner or a terminal operator, you need a fender that's not only tough, but soft enough to cushion and absorb the high energy impact of ship to ship transferor ship to quay berthing without hull damage , or overloading of dock structures. That fender is appropriately .... ? named SEA CUSHION. And it's tough because we make it that 'imjMlMim: way. It's unsinkable even if punctured. It's abrasion- resistant and extremely durable, be- cause of its rugged elastomer skin.

So if you have the need for some tough protection with a soft touch,

SEA CUSHION is it. Sizes available for fishing vessels to ULCC's.
