Differences Between Inland River Buoys And Ocean Buoys

2025-03-21 17:13:20


An inland river buoy is a navigation device specially used in inland waters such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and canals. It is mainly used to guide waterways, mark water obstacles, warn of dangerous areas, and ensure the safe navigation of ships on inland waterways.

An ocean buoy is a device floating in the ocean, offshore, or deep sea, mainly used for waterway guidance, meteorological monitoring, marine scientific research, fishery management, etc. Compared with inland buoys, ocean buoys are usually larger and stronger and can withstand extreme marine environments such as storms, tides, and waves.
