Unsinkable Foam Filled Steel Mooring and Anchoring Support Buoys
Steel Mooring and Support Buoys, also known as water drum buoys, are important devices for vessel anchoring, floating on the water surface with anchor chain through it. The ship can do follow work after anchored with mooring buoys: recharging, sheltering, degausing, etc.
Qingdao Luhang is a professional manufacturer of steel mooring buoys with high quality and performance.
Sturcture and Material of Steel Mooring and Support Buoys
Steel mooring buoy is a drum made of steel plate of 10mm thickness. Inside is filled with closed cell PE foam. It can prevent water flowing in in case of any broken and eventually provents the buoy from sinking into water. There is a steel pipe through the drum body for anchor chains.
The coating of buoy can be marine painting or sprayed with SUPA, which is better than painting for anti-uv.
Mooring Buoys have different sizes, each of which has related buoyance for certain anchoring tonnage case.
