Donut Fender Delivery to the UK by Bencros Marine Fenders

Donut fenders are hollow cylindrical foam fenders with a large internal hole, designed to fit around piles, monopiles, or other vertical structures.

They rotate freely around the pile, which makes them especially effective in areas with changing tidal levels or vessel movement.

Unique Features

  • Self-adjusting: Since they float and rotate, they automatically align with the vessel’s impact point regardless of tide or vessel draft.
  • Low-maintenance: Made from reinforced, non-marking PU skin and closed-cell foam core, they resist wear, corrosion, and UV degradation.
  • Energy absorption: The circular design allows them to distribute impact energy evenly, reducing localized stress on vessels and structures.
  • Simple installation: Slipped over a pile and held in place with retainers, requiring no complicated mounting.

We are proud to announce that Bencros Marine Fenders has successfully produced and shipped five Donut Fenders for deployment in the UK. This delivery demonstrates our ability to engineer and supply high-performance marine fender systems that protect critical marine infrastructure.
