Affordable • Stable • Robust
Norfloat International’s navigation buoy has been designed to operate in open water as well as rivers and harbours. The keel and hull design has increased the buoy’s stability significantly, providing an excellent platform for most types of self-contained light units.
Features
UV stabilised polyethylene
Polyethylene offers excellent impact resistance. Its low energy surface reduces marine growth significantly, helping keep maintenance costs to a minimum.
Foam filled
Norfloat’s NN range of navigation buoys are pressure filled using marine grade polyurethane foam, to a density of 36kg/m³.
Replaceable tower
In the event of damage, the tower can be replaced whilst on its station. The tower can also accept most makes of self-contained lights. An optional radar
reflector can be mounted internally.
Stability
The NN1400 is exceptionally stable on deck and in the water. The tower and keel design provide a very low centre of gravity making these buoys suitable for both open and shallow water conditions.
Handling
For safety and ease of handling purposes, two opposing lifting eyes are supplied as standard.
Application
Available as: lateral, special marks, IDMs, and cardinal buoys.
