Soft Mooring Buoys
Available as a through chain buoy, Norfloat International’s range of soft mooring buoys (MB1S and MB2S) offer a tough, long lasting, cost effective solution to most mooring requirements.
The MB1S and MB2S soft mooring buoys have been developed for swinging moorings. The outer PVC skin offers excellent boat friendly protection from the mooring buoy, whilst the buoy’s top recess helps prevent shackle damage to the moored craft. The MB1S and MB2S buoys are also suitable for most other mooring situations such as trot and fore and aft, moorings.
Features
UV stabilised PVC
These mooring buoys are manufactured from rotationally moulded UV stabilised PVC. The PVC outer surface offers excellent protection against the hull of the boat, especially important in wind over tide situations. The foam filling makes the buoy virtually unsinkable in the event of damage. Its low energy surface reduces marine growth significantly which helps keep maintenance costs to a minimum.
Foam filled
Foam filled using marine grade polyurethane foam with a density of 36kg per cubic meter.
Mooring solutions
We understand that standard off-the-shelf mooring buoys may not always meet your mooring needs therefore we are able to manufacture bespoke items to suit your requirements.
Lettering
For identification and notices to mariners, irremovable personalised lettering can be moulded into the buoy during manufacture.
Connection
Norfloat International’s soft mooring buoys are available as through chain. The replaceable central steel tube takes up to a 19 mm* chain to pass through its centre.
