Low maintenance navaid

The SB-1800 has been designed to allow deployment in a wide variety of applications that include shallow water, channel edges, rivers up to 6 knots current, deep harbours, and fast current tidal zones. The features that make this buoy unique includes a single lift eye which provides ease of lifting, removable internals (lifting/mooring connections), moulded foot wells, and it boasts the additional convenience that stands upright on vessels for easier deployment and recovery.

The SB-1800 comprises of two main sections, the hull and nav-aid section. The hull is filled with expanded polystyrene with a single lifting and mooring eye that are connected internally. SB-1800 is ideal for use at ports and harbour channel marking but it may also be used in the open sea.

In addition to improved performance, the SB-1800 can be fitted with a range of self-contained lanterns. Options also include AIS, GSM and satellite remote monitoring.
