QINZHOU, China, August 1, 2025 – At the bustling Qinzhou Port in Guangxi's Beibu Gulf, Chinese-made port protection equipment is quietly rewriting industry records. An ultra-large rubber fender, measuring 5.2 meters in diameter and 9 meters in length – the world's largest of its kind – deployed by Qinzhou Port Petrochemical Co., Ltd., has served reliably for six years, setting a new standard for high-end Chinese port equipment manufacturing.
Designed to absorb massive impacts from large vessels, this "mega fender" uses compressed air for exceptional flexibility and energy absorption efficiency, effectively cushioning the berthing impact of 10,000-ton ships. Crucially, its high-pressure resistance and multi-pressure-release valve design ensure absolute safety under extreme conditions. Its unique structure offers excellent compression rebound, while easy installation allows adaptation to diverse berths for all-angle protection, significantly boosting port efficiency and adaptability.
In rigorous operations at Qinzhou Port Petrochemical Terminal, the fender has excelled in its core buffering role, earning operator praise for its outstanding reliability and low maintenance. Six years of stable performance amidst Beibu Gulf's complex conditions and high traffic attest to its superior quality.
With its robust performance, this type of ultra-large rubber fender has become vital protection for modern ports and marine engineering, especially for oil tankers, large passenger ships, container vessels, dry docks, and offshore platforms. Its success at Qinzhou Port not only safeguards a crucial national energy hub but also highlights China's strong R&D and manufacturing capabilities in high-end port equipment, contributing a Chinese solution to global port safety technology.
