Arch & V-Type Dock Fenders,
Engineered for the Berth
Every docking is a controlled collision, and the fender is what keeps it that way. Our arch and V-type rubber fenders absorb berthing energy, spread the reaction across the dock structure, and shield the hull, in custom sizes and lengths for ports, terminals, jetties, and private berths.
Why Arch & V-Type Rubber Dock Fenders From Us
The arch profile, with its twin legs forming a V, is the most widely used fender shape in the world for a reason: it absorbs berthing energy efficiently, resists shear as the vessel slides along the face, and installs directly onto the structure with simple anchor bolts. No chains, no moving parts, no elaborate framing.
We manufacture arch fenders to match your berth's energy requirements and your existing mounting layout, including replacements for fenders already on the wall. For terminals choosing new fendering, our engineers work from vessel size and berthing velocity to size the section and length.
- Twin-leg arch profile for energy absorption with strong shear resistance
- Direct bolt-on installation, no chains or external framing required
- Custom sections and lengths cut for your berth energy and layout
- Replacements matched to existing bolt spacing and anchor points
Where Arch & V-Type Rubber Dock Fenders Earn Their Keep
01
Ports & Terminals
General-purpose berthing fendering for working quays where tugs and cargo vessels come alongside.
02
Jetties & Dolphins
Energy absorption on approach structures where a single bad berthing cannot be allowed to reach the pile.
03
Shipyard & Repair Berths
Fendering that tolerates the long stationary layups and awkward approaches of repair operations.
04
Marinas & Private Berths
Smaller arch sections giving yachts and light craft forgiving contact without hogging the wall.
05
Barge & Tug Operations
Robust contact faces for pusher knees, towhead landings, and working pushes along the berth face.
The Right Compound, Not Just Any Rubber
Every material below is stocked and formulated for arch fenders. Not sure which fits? Describe the application and our engineers will match it for you.
Marine-Grade Natural Rubber
High resilience compound formulated to absorb berthing energy and shrug off saltwater immersion.
Neoprene-Based Blends
For berths where oil sheens and fuel contact add chemical exposure to the marine environment.
SBR Compounds
Cost-effective energy absorption for lighter-duty berths and sheltered installations.
UV & Ozone-Resistant Formulations
Anti-degradant packages that keep the fender face from cracking under years of tropical sun.
Custom Options
- Sections sized to your berth energy calculation
- Lengths cut to the panel or bay spacing of your structure
- Bolt patterns matched to existing anchors for replacement jobs
- Front face treatments, including low-friction and hull-friendly faces
- Project quantities or single-bay replacement orders

Often Ordered Together
Arch & V-Type Rubber Dock Fenders, Answered
How is an arch fender sized for my berth?
Sizing follows the berthing energy, which comes from vessel size and berthing velocity, and the reaction force the structure can accept. Send the vessel range and site details with your quote request and our engineers will work the section and length with you.
Can you replace fenders already on our dock wall?
Yes, and matching existing anchors matters more than matching the catalog. Give us the bolt spacing, section depth, and length of the fenders being replaced, or a photo with measurements, and we will cut replacements that land on the same points.
What is the advantage of the arch profile over other fender types?
The arch shape absorbs energy through the legs compressing while resisting the shear that occurs when a vessel slides along the face, and it mounts directly to the structure with bolts. Compared with larger molded fender bodies it is simpler and more economical per unit of absorbed energy at moderate energies.
Do arch fenders need front panels?
At moderate energies the rubber face alone contacts the hull. For higher-energy berths or where hull contact pressure must be spread, front panels can be fitted. We supply both configurations and advise based on your vessels.
Can we order just a few fender lengths for one bay?
Single-bay and replacement orders are welcome alongside full-berth projects. Tell us the length and section and we will quote the pieces you need.
How are the fenders attached to the structure?
Arch fenders bolt directly through the legs onto the quay wall or substructure with anchor bolts. We drill the bolt pattern to match your structure, so installation is a bolt-on job with no site fabrication.
