Manuplas navigation and marker buoys are light-weight and low maintenance and have been used effectively for both offshore and in-shore navigation.
Navigation buoys
Manuplas IALA compliant navigation buoys are available in a range of diameters for both offshore and in-shore applications. Standard navigation buoys 2.0m – 3.0m are recommended for major channels and open seas. Seamless navigation buoys 1.2m – 2.0m are recommended for minor channels, harbours and sheltered waters.
Construction:
- Thermolaminated Closed-Cell Polyethylene (PE) Foam core
- Durable, flexible and abrasion resistant Polyurethane (PU) Elastomer Skin
Features:
- A high visibility outer skin enhancing safety
- Strong and durable
- Low maintenance
- Virtually unsinkable, therefore maximising service reliability
- Fitted with lifting eyes for ease of installation
- Configured with self-contained LED lights, radar reflector and top mark assembly as required

Marker buoys
Manuplas design and manufacture a range of IALA compliant marker buoys. There are 10 different configurations available as standard which range form 0.6m – 1.5m diameter. Manuplas marker buoys are ideally suited for marinas, lakes, inner harbours and sheltered water locations.
Construction:
- The hull / daymark core construction is closed cell rigid expanded polystyrene or resilient thermolaminated polyethylene foam
- The hull / daymark skin construction is a polyurethane elastomer skin as standard
- Can be configured with either a pad eye or through hole for mooring
- All metal work hot dip galvanised
- Options available: Self-contained led lights, radar reflector and top mark
Features:
- Lightweight design enables quick and easy transportation and installation
- Low maintenance
- Virtually unsinkable, therefore maximising service reliability
- Highly impact absorbent materials reduces the likelihood of damage to the buoy
- Can be fitted with lifting eyes for ease of installation
- Configured with self-contained LED lights, radar reflector and top mark assembly as required
- Optional customer graphics for enhanced identification
Marker buoy preferred to port
Marker buoy preferred to starboard
