Tugs

As tugs have become more powerful, choosing the right type, size and arrangement for tug fenders has become increasingly critical. It’s now more important than ever to look for ways to increase service life, in order to offset the increased damage that comes with the increased power of the tugs. Trelleborg has launched a High Performance Super Abrasion Resistant (HPSAR) tug fender, which utilizes an innovative, superior rubber compound. The application of this distinctive and improved compound not only significantly increases the service life of the fender, but also gives the fender a lower density than traditional solutions, contributing to reduced weight and increasing potential savings.
