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, 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
