Abstract
An impact pad, having a first outer layer of ultra-high molecular weight material, an intermediate layer of elastomeric material and a third base layer of rigid material, is mounted on a support base of the hull of a ship for absorbing impact forces. The base layer has a channel member secured thereto to facilitate the attachment to the support base of the hull of a ship and provide rigidity to the pad. Fasteners extending through the channel member and the base layer are used to fasten such pad to the support base. A plurality of bores in the base layer and elastomeric intermediate layer facilitates the impact loading and impact forces on the outer layer.
