Dan-Fender has made fenders and buoys since 1982. The company is part of the Danish dan hill plast a/s group, a producer of technical plastics since 1957. All Dan-Fender products are made in the company’s own factory in Denmark.
Fenders and buoys are rotationally moulded, with solid injection-moulded rope eyes. Smaller items have a replaceable metal valve and the largest use Dan-Fender’s own Heavy Duty valve. The same products are used on leisure boats as well as in marinas, on fishing vessels, work boats and naval craft.
Marine Import Oy is the official Dan-Fender distributor in Finland. We keep the most common products in stock in Luvia, and stock items ship in 1–3 business days. We also deliver to business customers in the Baltics, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Poland.
We stock the most common fender sizes, buoys, mooring buoys and accessories. Individual models and availability are listed in our Captains Shop online store (in Finnish).
Cylindrical fenders with a rope eye at each end. Choose the size by boat length and weight.
Round buoys used both as fenders and as marker buoys. Good for larger boats and tight berths.
Mooring buoys with a rod. According to the manufacturer, the rods are hot-dip galvanised and Rilsan-coated.
Fenders mounted on the pontoon or quay to protect the hull when berthing.
A fabric cover protects the fender from wear and stops squeaking at the berth.
Hand pump, valves and care products for inflating and maintaining fenders.
This table is based on Dan-Fender’s own size recommendations. Boat length is given in feet; metres are approximate.
A heavy boat or an exposed, choppy berth may need a larger fender than recommended. When in doubt, go one size up.
