Description

The FB1200A Navigation Buoy has been designed for ease of use and reliability during maritime navigation, channel marking, offshore projects, and use in a port. It possesses exceptional buoyancy and endurance and performs well in extreme marine conditions.

Marine aids to navigation buoys are artificial signs that guide navigation, position and mark obstacles and warnings. Its outer shell is integrally formed from UV-stabilized colored polyethylene, which is protected from long-term degradation by natural radiation. Internally filled with closed-cell polyurethane for strength and buoyancy. And equipped with cast-iron ballasts for stability.

This buoy has optimized performance due to its small size. Robust, lightweight polyethylene buoy tops are moulded in standard IALA high-visibility colors and shapes to meet a variety of installation requirements. Since the manufacturing process requires little maintenance, they have an expected lifespan of up to 20 years. The working life is 3 times that of steel buoys.

As a manufacturer and supplier of marine aids to navigation, Boomarine has produced solar marine lanterns, navigation and mooring buoys, and customised floating solutions. Their products are distributed and utilised around the world by port authorities, offshore contractors, environmental organisations, maritime agencies, and innovative safety organisations. Boomarine Engineering prides itself on performing to the highest quality standards, which meet clients’ international requirements.

Features of FB1200A Navigation Buoy

Flexible Mooring Options: Attaching points for secure installation and mooring eyes are also included for extra versatility of the assembly.
Durable Construction: Designed and made using advanced polyethylene, which is rated as UV stable and impact-proof, corrosion-resistant, and capable of withstanding temperature extremes.
Excellent Buoyancy: Able to retain equilibrium and resist capsizing while the flotation volume is large and the structure is stable.
High Visibility: With reflectors placed at strategic points and lights set at suitable angles, the underwater structure remains visible even in challenging visibility conditions.
Modular Design: Helps the structure to be carried and moved in a simplified manner in combination with maintaining a modular, interconnected structure that provides ease of maintenance and replacement of parts.
Customisable Top Marks & Lanterns: Solar marine lanterns and top marks attaching to the structure also comply with IALA standards.
Cleansing Servicing Maintenance: Resistant to marine growth and fouling while also maintaining simple cleaning service.
Flexible Mooring Options: Attaching points for secure installation and mooring eyes are also included for extra versatility of the assembly.
