The G1500 Navigation buoy has a large visual daymark with a nominal focal height of 2.3m. The Gannet buoy range is a modular design with a unique central core steel arrangement connecting the lifting eyes to the mooring eyes for superior strength and durability.
The buoy is manufactured using marine grade (UV Stabilised) polyethylene material.
The central core design includes two mooring eyes fitted with a unique replaceable bushing system, extending the operational life of the buoy. The use of a twin bridal mooring provides greater stability and mooring flexibility when used in locations with fast water currents. The centre core is fitted with two lifting eyes for ease of manoeuvrability during installation or servicing.
Available in all the IALA recommended colours and configurations with optional daymark cone or can shape.
