Mooring Buoys
Enhanced buoy stability
Designed specifically for the Aquaculture market, the SeaQureBuoy offers enhanced buoy stability with increasing buoyancy when under load.
It is made from rotationally moulded UV stabilised polyethylene with an extra heavy wall-thickness of 8mm and filled with expanded polystyrene foam.
The heavy-duty SeaQureBuoy also has high tensile pre-tensioned lifting chain pre-fitted.
SeaQureBuoy
Key Points
- Pear-shaped for improved stability in the water and progressively increasing buoyancy under load.
- Rotationally moulded, low-density polyethylene.
- Heavy wall thickness, 8mm Polyethylene shell.
- Expanded Polystyrene non-water absorbing foam filled.
- Graded 80, high tensile chain fitted through buoy, designed to lift grid nodes under tension for inspection safely.
- Moulded in recess for accommodating marker lights or beacons.
- Custom-fit any steel fixing bracket to moulded in steel threaded sockets.
- Any chain length offered with a master link (removes the need for swivels or shackles below the buoy, reducing maintenance costs and failure risks of shackles).
- Designed to be fitted to SeaQureLink or Shackle Plate through our robust fibre connector (eliminates shackles or swivels between buoy and mooring node, reducing maintenance costs).
- Range from 873 litres to 4075 litres.

APB Buoys
Key Points
- The APB Aqua buoys are rotomolded from polyethylene (PE) and filled with polystyrene foam (EPS), designed for surface use.
- Equipped with yellow, daylight reflective tapes on all 4 sides.
- In addition to the continuous chain through the centre, the buoys are secured with 4 full-length hot dip galvanized steel bolts.
- The buoys are designed to form a modular system and individual sections can be added or removed from the assembly, to adapt to different buoyancy needs.
- The buoys include an integrated pipe as part of the top disc, allowing for light and other equipment to be easily mounted.
