Channel buoys guide ships and boats in specific in directions to safely navigate in / around harbours. Generally buoy body is of Red, Green and Yellow colors to depict specific meaning. In addition, Lanterns of the same colour are fitted on top of the Channel Buoys to assist in night navigation.
Aids To Navigation
BUOYS
Marine Buoys are either made from UV-stabilized rotationally moulded polyethylene or steel and are designed to provide low-maintenance, high-visibility solution for marine navigation. Aids to navigation products are available in a variety of configurations and sizes which can be delivered to our customers countrywide.
Channel Buoys
The world of Aids to Navigation prefer Polyethylene Buoys due benefits such as longer life, Easy maintenance washing / handling, Light weight, no painting requirements, no color Fading, no cracks etc. Float diameters are available in customized sizes / dimensions.
Steel Buoys are designed by combining conventional architecture used during several decades. The high-quality steel for its construction is the same as the one used in the naval field, with a thickness greater than 10 mm. Float diameters are available in customized sizes / dimensions.
Mooring Buoys
Mooring buoy is a floating structure which is used to moor vessels either cruise ships, fishing boats, cargo ships, or private ships while in deep or shallow water. The buoy is moored to the seabed by using sinker, chains or ropes, known as mooring.
Marine lanterns are designed to show presence of offshore structures and vessels at night and during poor visibility conditions.
These are installed on navigation buoys as self contained marine lanterns. Usual range is from 3 to 5 nautical miles with Bluetooth, GSM, GPS, AIS and Satellite Monitoring system, having wide range of customized & standard specs.
Leading lights (also known as range lights in the United States) are a pair of light beacons, used in navigation to indicate a safe passage for vessels entering a shallow or dangerous channel; and may also be used for position fixing. At night, the lights are a form of leading line that can be used for safe navigation.
Two lights are positioned near one another. One, called the front light, is lower than the one behind, which is called the rear light. At night when viewed from a ship, the two lights only become aligned vertically when a vessel is positioned on the correct bearing. If the vessel is on an incorrect course, the lights will not align.
Chain & Sinkers
Mooring system is made of a mooring line, anchor and connectors, and is used for station keeping of a ship or floating platform in all water depths. A mooring line connects an anchor on the seafloor to a floating structure. We will focus on mooring Mobile Offshore Drilling Units and Floating Production Systems.
The Mooring Sinkers are used to ensure the safe and secure deployment of Navigational and Mooring Buoys / markers into the sea. Sinker keeps the balance of Channel Buoys or Mooring Buoys / markers by adding weight.
