Our steel mooring buoys are made of high-strength steel and they are built to withstand harsh conditions. Therefore, they are typically used in strong winds, high waves, or strong currents to provide secure and stable anchorage for ships, boats, and offshore structures in various marine environments.
The Specification of Steel Mooring Buoys is Φ3700mm x 2000mm. It comprises a CCSB hull formed with structural steel and welded, divided into six sealing cabins, two lifting eyes, six manholes, and six anode zinc block protection, and the tether ring is made of U3 anchor chain steel.

Here are some steel mooring buoy components:
A mooring ring is used to tie ship cables and transmit mooring force to anchors.
Floats, With a large buoyancy, one end of the anchor chain is floated to the surface to connect the mooring ring and withstand the pull after the mooring.
The anchor chain, which connects the anchor with the mooring ring, the float, transmits the mooring force, which itself is subject to the pulling force.
Our Steel Mooring Buoy Advantages:
1) We use corrosion-resistant steel, usually galvanized steel, coated steel, or corrosion-resistant stainless steel, to ensure that the buoy can be used in seawater for a long time without corrosion.
2) The surface of steel mooring buoys is usually coated with an anti-corrosion coating, such as epoxy resin coating or polyurethane coating, to prevent the steel from rusting or corroding when in contact with seawater. In addition, to improve visibility and warning effect, the surface of the buoy may also be painted with bright colors (such as orange, and yellow) and equipped with reflective strips or lights.
3) Our steel mooring buoys can be equipped with sensors to monitor their status, positioning, mooring load, etc., so problems can be detected and maintenance carried out in time.
4) Superb Manufacturing Technology: The manufacturing process adopts the cutting weld joint and is polished, the pressure test is treated by air pressure testing, and all steel materials are sandblasted rustless and air sprayed.
