Bow Fenders are generally considered the most important fender on a tug boat. Viking offers a variety of fenders for the bow, such as the Laminated Bow Mat-Style Laminated Turk's Head, Laminated D-Shape, and Molded and Extruded Rubber Fenders.

• The Turk's Head is ideal for model bow or tugs with a sharp bow because the laminations run horizontally, preventing the sharp bow from working between the laminations.
• The laminated D-Shape is often chosen because it enables fendering systems to be changed-out in one (1) foot segments, as they are designed to be stacked up one on top of another
• Like the Laminated D-Shape, Molded and Extruded rubber (available in either D-Shape or Rectangular), is also installed in segments and stacked on top of each other.

Viking Fender custom measures and manufactures these bow fenders to fit properly, realizing that lines must work over them without fouling. All of our fenders have their particular advantgages. To ensure the best selection to meet your specific need, please feel free to consult with us before placing your order. Our recommendations for type and size of bow fender will take into account the many facets of each particular situation.
