    Hydropneumatic fenders are floating fenders that use a combination of air and water inside flexible tubes to absorb energy from vessel impacts. They have several advantages over traditional solid rubber fenders including a submerged contact area, adjustable draft through water filling, and movement ability. Common applications include use at submarine jetties, on certain ferry types, and around oil rigs where their adjustable properties are beneficial. Dimensions and performance statistics are provided for various standard hydropneumatic fender sizes.
