These small to medium-sized buoys are strong yet lightweight — constructed around a central galvanised steel hull structure with rotationally moulded medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) floats.
The UV-stabilised MDPE hull retains colour within IALA guidelines for in excess of 15 years, and the modular design allows for commonality of parts, reducing maintenance, inspection, replacement and spares holding costs.
These floats can easily be handled by small craft and laid on their sides for maintenance. They are suitable for a wide range of self-contained solar lights. A variety of daymark assemblies and top marks are also available.
