ABSTRACT:
An elastically deformable fender adapted to be mounted on one or both of the hull of a ship and a shore installation such as pier, wharf, quay, dock, float or the like structure for cushioning the impact of the ship against the shore installation, which generally comprises an elongated body of one-piece construction made of an elastic material. The body includes a buffer block, an outer surface of which forms an impact receiving surface, and a pair of opposed support walls depending from the buffer block so as to diverge from each other in a direction away from the buffer block. Each of the support walls is bent widthwise and is constituted by leg and heel sections respectively positioned adjacent to and remote from the buffer block, the heel sections of the respective support walls being spaced from each other a maximum span within the range of (0.75.times.W) to (1.5.times.W), W representing the width of the buffer block.
