A fender (6) for a vessel (1) for positioning the vessel (1) against a stationary or floating object (2) comprises a resilient front wall (7) having a shock-absorber side (9) for contacting a stationary or floating object (2), a rear wall (8) having a fastening side (10) to be fastened to a vessel (1), an upper side (11), a lower side (12) and a deformation portion (15, 18) disposed between the front wall (7), the rear wall (8), the upper side (11) and the lower side (12). The deformation portion comprises a plurality of resilient connection elements (15) which are fixed to the front wall (7) in respective front wall junctions (16) spaced from each other in a direction parallel to the front wall (7) and the upper side (11), on the one hand, and to the rear wall (8) in respective rear wall junctions (17) spaced from each other in a direction parallel to the rear wall (7) and the upper side (11), on the other hand. Each of the connection elements (15) has a length between the front wall (7) and the rear wall (8) which exceeds the shortest distance between the front wall (7) and the rear wall (8) at its corresponding front wall junction (16) or rear wall junction (17), as measured in a direction from the shock-absorber side (9) to the fastening side (10). The number of front wall junctions (16) as well as the number of rear wall junctions (17) is less than ten per meter, preferably less than seven per meter.
