Marine Floating Buoy High Buoyancy Mooring Buoy For Ocean Mooring System

How To Use Marine Floating Buoy Correctly

It is important to use marine floating buoys correctly to prevent unnecessary wear and tear on the mooring system and protect your vessels. 

• The number of marine floating buoys is limited, first come first served.
• Maneuver the boat from the helm station so that you can see the buoy throughout the connection.
• Approach slowly from downwind or upstream so that the floating yellow pickup line is closest to you. Place the buoy on the same side of the helm station so that you can see it when you approach.
• Pass the bow line of your bow through the loop of the yellow pickup line. Tie both ends of the bow line to the bow. Do not tie the yellow connection line directly to the ship as it will cause excessive pressure on the mooring anchor. Do not forcibly moor the buoy, as this will pose a danger to you and your hull, and will cause unnecessary stress on the mooring system.
• Release enough line so that the buoy is not pulled underwater and the line is level. Bad days may require more rows. Adding an extra rope will provide a more comfortable experience when your ship is anchored and reduce the wear and tear of the buoy system.
• Check the buoys tied to your boat; you are responsible for your boat. Check if it is stored as expected and report the problem to any shelter.
• When you are ready to leave, loosen the bow line of the bow and pull it through the loop of the yellow pickup line. Then stay away from the mooring lines so you don't get scale on any mooring lines.

Advantage of Marine Floating Buoy

1. Tough, impact-resistant polyethylene plastic (HDPE / MDPE / LLDPE)

2. Built-in UV inhibitors can reduce degradation caused by sunlight

3. Handle can simplify installation of pipeline buoy

4. Molded bolt holes for easy float installation

5. The float can have or without foam core

6. Monolithic structure​

Additional Attention Points of Marine Floating Buoy

1. In many coral reefs, marine floating buoys surround the shallowest coral reef area or are located on the ocean side of the coral reef. Approach the marine floating buoy from either side of these shallow waters and always turn to the outside of the buoy ring. Do not drive directly over the shallow reef to reach the buoy.
2. You should keep idling/not waking up near the boat buoy. Do not meander between buoys and watch out for swimmers, snorkelers, and divers foam.
3. If there is no buoy, it can only be anchored in the sand, not in the coral. Always check to make sure your anchor is not dragging and the anchor chain is not in contact with the coral.
4. Encourage smaller ships to moor to each other, thereby allowing larger ships to enter the buoy.
5. When the sailboat is on the buoy, it should not drop the large sail like a stable sail; this puts a lot of pressure on the bolts of the mooring ring.
6. The buoy positions have been separated to provide clearance for most ships when moored under normal conditions. To avoid grounding, be careful when approaching or strapping to the buoy. Containers larger than average must be checked for depth to avoid contact with the bottom.
