An elongate linear elastomeric fender comprising an outer sheath surrounding a core, wherein the core comprises a plurality of tubes, and the outer sheath has a higher compressibility than the core, is described. The fender can be flexible and continuous, providing ease of transport and installation. The different layers of the fender provide different absorption of kinetic energy upon impact, and also dissipate impact energy transversely throughout the fender.
