All Types Of Support Buoys

Support Buoys are an often overlooked and misunderstood component of maritime mooring lines and other deployments and infrastructure. Support Buoys are smaller components of a greater structure, like a mooring chain, and are designed to help secure it in place. This means, that the buoy is not handling the total stress of the line it is supporting, but rather, it is handling the stress of supporting a section of the line itself, plus accounting for other potential minor forces. While the traditional anchor pendant buoy is the one holding the larger weight of the chain.

Minimize Risks, get custom-made support buoys designed by industry leaders

Support buoys are fundamental components for the integrity of larger and more complex maritime assets. They secure and set in place mooring lines and other equipment. Therefore, at Osaka Industry we give the advice to take the extra time to get a custom made buoy, that details such as the buoyancy, dimensions, and finishings can be the ones adjusted before delivery, rather than the entire mooring line be re-adjusted, which would have a significant economic impact. It is simply not possible to buy a support buoy from a magazine or an online website, and know that it will be the right component for your system, that is why at Osaka Industry we have experience, records, our own database, and the capability to design, and re-design buoys according to customer needs and project requirements, this is the option that we always recommend our clients, as we have the full capabilities and assets to make it possible.
