These buoys are the largest in the JET series. They are suitable for use in offshore, deepwater and large river applications where high visibility is required.
The modular design allows for sharing of parts with other buoys in the JET range so that a wide variety of daymarks, top marks and navigation lights can be accommodated. Maintenance, inspection, replacement and spare holding costs are also greatly reduced.
These buoys are constructed around a galvanised steel central structure with medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) hull floats. The UV-stabilised MDPE components retain their colour within IALA guidelines for more than 15 years.
All the buoys can be tailored to accommodate a variety of daymarks, top marks and navigation lights.
