DAWSON Mooring buoy is an object floating in the water that is used in the sea as a locator or a warning point for ships. The mooring buoy itself is made of high-quality imported PE materials, and the color is usually bright (fluorescent). It is sunlight resistant and anti-aging, and will not fade during use. Mooring Buoys are resilient, easy to handle, self fendering and requires minimal maintenance.
Mooring buoys are usually designed in a circular shape, and it is designed in such a way that they have a heavier weight on the ocean floor, which acts like an anchor and keeps the buoy afloat in the water. The top hard eyes of mooring buoys are used to attach mooring ropes or shackles to attach boats so that they can be efficiently moored on them.
The whole application of mooring buoys works in such a way that the buoy is floating and the ship is moored to a very strong support without the use of a mooring anchor system.
Moorings fix the buoy to the seabed. Mooring Buoy design must account for the buoy’s behavior given applicable wind, wave, current conditions, and tanker sizes. That determines the optimum mooring arrangement and scope of the various mooring leg components. Anchoring points are substantially dependent on local soil conditions.
