Morse Ship Fenders are produced with EPDM rubber to provide high durability combined with superior resistance to environmental attack by sunlight and ozone. Ship fender types include: Pushnee, Polynee, Type-CB, Type-W, Keyhole. Standard shaped extruded fenders are often used on ships as well, including: Cylindrical, Square and D-shape. Custom pre-curving and drilling of the extruded fenders are commonly performed to meet the curvature of the ships hull.
