The original Marine Rubber Fender units were all generic materials like wood, tires, etc. With the rapid development of the modern shipping industry, the modern Marine Rubber Fender system was gradually specialized in materials and design in the latter part of the 20th century, and an intelligent Rubber Fender system with shore impact monitoring functions appeared. The intelligent Marine Rubber Fender system, also known as the ship docking shock monitoring system, realizes the estimation of the kinetic energy of the ship by installing motion, stress, or air pressure sensors on the ordinary Marine Rubber Fender system and monitoring the moving process or pressure of the Marine Rubber Fender system, Wharf structure impact monitoring, and berthing accident and Marine Rubber Fender system damage alarm functions.

Design Specifications for the Marine Rubber Fender System
Design steps of Marine Rubber Fender
The design of a Marine Rubber Fender system is a complex process with many variables to consider and can be done in many different ways. To achieve similar goals at different costs and with different degrees of rationality. Therefore, there is currently no design specification that can standardize the design of the Marine Rubber Fender system in the world, and most of the design procedures still need to rely on the experience of professional designers of the Marine Rubber Fender system. At present, the most mainstream design specification in the world is "Guidelines for the Design of Fender Systems: 2002 Report of Working Group 33- MARCOM, Appendix A, Procedure to Determine and Report the Performance of Marine Fenders" published by the International Association of Air Transport (PIANC). In addition, there are British National Standards (BIS), Japanese National Standards (JIS), European Standards (EURO CODE), etc.
At present, Marine Rubber Fender systems have been used on ships. In the industry, a variety of materials are generally used to construct Marine Rubber Fender systems. Among them, rubber, foam, airbag, plastic, hydraulic cylinder, and other elastic bodies are mainly used as energy-absorbing materials in the deformation process. If necessary, the steel anti-shock plate is used as the impact contact surface between the ship and the Rubber fender system and covered with polymer plastic materials to reduce friction, and then supplemented with chains or movement limiting devices to control the movement of the Marine Rubber Fender system scope. There are generally four steps in the design of Marine Rubber Fender. The first is to collect information on ships, docks, docking, and environmental factors. The second is to determine the maximum docking kinetic energy of the ship, and the second is to determine the Marine Rubber Fender elastic body, front structure, and motion limiting device (multiple options are possible) according to the characteristics of the wharf ship. Finally, the best solution is selected from each solution according to the rationality of the design and the cost of material installation. The design of the Marine Rubber Fender system is generally carried out according to the specific requirements of each wharf and ship, referring to international standards, and combining the experience of designers. The considerations include ship factors, wharf structure factors, docking mode factors, and environmental impact factors.
