Cylindrical, barrel and modular mooring buoys are standard for large vessel applications with a range of custom steel-work fittings.
Manuplas cylindrical, barrel and modular mooring buoys are available as standard for large vessel applications. Manuplas have supplied mooring buoys to organisations such as the RNLI and The Ministry of Defence. A range of custom steelwork fittings can be provided. Applications for commercial mooring buoys are offshore and remote mooring, temporary mooring of vessels in a port, dock or harbour, additional mooring for large vessels on berthing/mooring dolphins and longer term mooring for infrequently used vessels.
Construction:
- Closed cell polyethylene foam core in a range of densities
- Reinforced high performance polyurethane elastomer skin
- Mooring buoys available with chain through, pad eye or handling crucifix configuration, non-slip decks, self-contained LED lanterns & internal radar reflectors
Features:
- Manufactured from durable and long lasting materials
- Virtually non-marking skin
- Wear and abrasion resistant outer skin prolongs the service life of the buoy
- Virtually unsinkable if outer skin is severely damaged, therefore maximising service reliability
- High impact absorption limits damage to buoy or the moored vessel
- Low maintenance
- Optional LED lanterns and internal radar reflectors enhance visibility of buoy to nearby vessels therefore increasing vessel safety
