Barrel Mooring Buoys

Barrel mooring buoy is one kind of representative mooring buoys. Barrel-type mooring buoy has a barrel shape.

The steelwork construction through the buoy’s middle vertically. It can be supplied with handling crucifix and chain-through design. The barrel mooring buoys are constructed by resilient closed cell polyethylene/EVA foam around the inner central steelwork, covered by polyurethane (PU) other skin. The resilient closed cell polyethylene/EVA foam core guarantees self-fendering and unsinkable even in case of damage. And self-colored polyurethane elastomer skin is resistant to abrasion and ultraviolet ray degradation.

For extreme service environments, the polyurethane elastomer skin can be reinforced by nylon to protective coating has higher tear strength, making the buoy long-lasting and virtually maintenance-free.

Barrel Mooring Buoys Specification

We make two kinds of barrel mooring buoys with below-rated buoyancy.

Barrel Mooring Buoys Features

Barrel mooring buoys have significant advantages, lier easier to handle, better corrosion resistance, low maintenance, never sink or burst, self-fendering that withstands vessel impact.

PU Protective Outer Skin – Reinforced urethane elastomer skin
Self-fendering – High impact absorption capacity
Inner Foam – Unskinable closed-cell rigid foam core
Upper-End Fitting – Various end fitting options available
Internal Steel Core – For better support and balance
Lower End Fitting – Mooring eye used for anchor connecting

Construction of Barral Mooring Buoys

Barral mooring buoys are manufactured with high-quality closed-cell PE/EVA resilient foam, encapsulated with self-colored tough polyurethane elastomer skin.

Tough reinforce polyurethane outer skin – General surface support buoy’s skin is constructed of polyurethane elastomer, which also can be reinforced with nylon filament. The polyurethane skin is a unique elastomer specifically for offshore applications. It is high resistance to abrasion, fatigue, and ultraviolet degradation and is significantly more durable.
Laminated closed cell resilient foam core, unsinkable design – General surface support buoys are made with the highest quality closed-cell PE/EVA foam. This resilient foam makes the buoys self-fendering with high impact absorption capacity. Even the skin was punctured, it also is unsinkable without absorbing water. With our unique laminating process, each foam core is integrity. The foam core cannot be reputed after a long time of service.
Steelwork and end assembly – Through central steel tube with longitudinal guests and external load distribution flanges at each end, epoxy coated or hot-dipped galvanized, are encased in a closed-cell urethane foam central body. Optional bail eye, clevis eye, swivel, chain locking plate, single locking pin end fitting are available.
