MOORING BUOY — ROTOMOULD POLYETHYLENE

Mooring Buoy

Rotomoulded polyethylene mooring buoys for aquaculture mooring legs, harbour berthing points and navigation marking. 8 standard models, MB300 to MB4000 — 300 to 4,000 litre volume, 150 to 2,000 kg mooring load. UV-stabilised body, closed-cell internal fill, hot-dip galvanised steel hardware. ASAKUA is an IALA member.

SYSTEM CORE

Rotomoulded polyethylene mooring buoys for aquaculture mooring legs, harbour berthing points and navigation marking. Each buoy is moulded as a single piece from UV-stabilised virgin polyethylene at our İzmir facility; the internal cavity is filled with closed-cell foamed polyurethane or polystyrene. The buoy stays afloat even when punctured. Metal hardware is hot-dip galvanised; the central chain passage and colour-marking are delivered to IALA recommendations. ASAKUA is an IALA member.

APPLICATION SCENARIOS

Designed for these scenarios.

SCENARIO 01

Fish farm mooring leg

Buoyant load balancer and surface marker on the mooring leg running from seabed anchor to the surface in open-ocean cage systems. MB1200–MB4000 larger models distribute anchor load, limit cage movement and give the operator a visible reference on the leg.

SCENARIO 02

Vessel berthing and marina

Mooring point for vessel berthing in marinas, sheltered bays and harbours. MB600 and MB900 are the typical selections; the central chain passage channel is compatible with standard mooring hardware.

SCENARIO 03

IALA navigation and hazard marking

Direction buoy on harbour channels, river mouths and shallow water hazards, marked to IALA colour and lateral-system rules. Optional solar LED flashing lantern can be integrated for night visibility and operational continuity.

TECHNICAL

Optimized structural behavior.

The buoy body is rotationally moulded from UV-stabilised virgin polyethylene as a single piece. This process leaves no seams, welds or joints — critical for long-term performance in aggressive marine conditions. Eight standard models span MB300 to MB4000: diameter 900–1,600 mm, height 900–2,500 mm, volume 300–4,000 litres, mooring load 150–2,000 kg.

The full internal cavity is filled with closed-cell foamed polyurethane or polystyrene — the buoy stays afloat even after the body is punctured. The central tarred-chain passage distributes mooring load evenly into the body and speeds up rigging on site. Steel hardware (top and bottom rings, connection fittings) is hot-dip galvanised.

Day-mark colouring is applied to IALA recommendations depending on the use case; an optional solar LED flashing lantern can be integrated at the buoy top. Buoy selection requires weight of mooring equipment, accessories to be installed and the focal height required above water — all evaluated together. ASAKUA supports product selection and on-site rigging; as an IALA member we track marine aids to navigation standards.
