Buoyant Works is an innovative manufacturer of high performance fendering and offshore wind farm impact protection products
Buoyant Works is a Cornwall based innovator with over 30 years of expertise in marine fendering and offshore wind farm protection systems. We specialise in lightweight, modular polyurethane alternatives to rubber fendering – designed for use on crew transfer vessels (CTVs), tugboats, quaysides and offshore wind turbine boat landings.
Buoyant Works Products
FenderCTV – Our next-generation bow fender systems for CTVs, using modular, independent impact units and step platforms. Our design delivers reliable impact performance, more grip and less maintenance – all while significantly reducing weight and fuel usage.
FenderTug – A revolutionary fendering solution, tailored for tugboats. Featuring modular W-fender and double-D-Fender panels, it delivers up to 40% of weight savings compared to rubber, plus superior durability and lower lifecycle costs.
Windshield & FlexLanding – Robust and modular boat landing replacement and protection systems. Crafted from our plant-based polyurethane, they cushion impact and resist wear and corrosion, thus extending the service window and reducing the need for maintenance.
Buoyant Works’ Core Values
Modular Innovation – Allowing for rapid replacements and retrofits. Cutting downtime and maintenance costs.
Lightweight Profiles – Reduce vessel fuel usage and increase bollard pull, whilst maintaining high levels of durability and long-term performance.
Eco-Friendly Materials and Processes – All of our fenders are made from a recyclable, plant-based polyurethane and can be re-lifed once they come to the end of their product lifetime.
Buoyant Works are proud of our proven track record when it comes to our customers. Windcat, Diverse Marine and Työvene are just a few who we work with regularly, looking to provide robust solutions to any of their fendering needs. Our fenders ensure reliability when it matters most.

Custom-fit for new builds or retrofits, it’s a proven solution trusted by leading offshore operators for reliable, long-lasting protection during turbine transfers.
An advanced fendering system engineered for tugboats, offering a lightweight, modular alternative to traditional rubber fenders. Manufactured from durable polyurethane, FenderTug reduces vessel weight by up to several tonnes, improving fuel efficiency and handling. Its modular W-Fender, D-Fender and P-Fender panels are easy to install, replace, and maintain—minimising operational downtime. Designed for high-impact marine environments, FenderTug provides exceptional abrasion resistance, long service life, and consistent performance. Suitable for new builds or retrofits, it delivers superior protection during pushing, towing, and berthing operations, making it a trusted choice for modern tug operators seeking safety, efficiency, and durability
A high-performance impact protection system designed for offshore wind turbine landings. Made from a durable, plant-based polyurethane, Windshield protects monopiles and transition pieces from repeated CTV impacts, extending asset life and reducing maintenance costs. Its modular, low-profile design absorbs energy effectively while maintaining a slim form to minimise offshore disruption. Windshield is retrievable, replaceable, and built to outlast the turbine lifecycle, offering long-term durability in harsh marine environments. It enhances safety, reliability, and efficiency during crew transfers—setting a new standard in turbine landing protection.
A modular, polyurethane alternative to the traditional steel boat landing, designed to protect both the landing and the CTV from accidental collisions, in adverse weather conditions. Quick to install and easy to maintain, our system provides reliable grip, reduces wear on CTV fenders and extends the service life of the transition pieces. FlexLanding offers a practical, long-lasting solution for improving safety and reducing damage during repeated offshore personnel transfers.
