Functions and Applications
1. Ship Anchoring
Provide temporary or long-term berthing points for small vessels (such as yachts and fishing boats) to prevent the damage to the seabed ecosystem (such as coral reefs) caused by anchoring, and at the same time reduce the risk of anchoring.
2. Marine research and monitoring
It is used to fix Marine observation equipment and collect hydrological, meteorological or ecological data over the long term, such as monitoring ocean currents, water temperature, salinity or the trend of ocean acidification.
3. Offshore engineering support
In the construction of oil and gas platforms and offshore wind farms, mooring buoys can assist in positioning engineering vessels or temporary facilities.
4. Environmental protection
Demarcate the boundaries of ecological protection areas to prevent ships from mistakenly entering sensitive areas. It can also be used as a component of artificial reefs to promote the habitat of Marine life.
5. Navigation and Safety
Mark the positions of waterways, shoals or sunken ships to ensure navigation safety.
Advantages and Characteristics
- Eco-friendly: Replace traditional anchoring and reduce physical damage to underwater habitats.
- Economical and efficient: Low long-term usage and maintenance costs, suitable for various water environments.
- Flexibility: The size of the buoy, buoyancy and anchor chain length can be adjusted as needed.
- Multi-functional integration: Compatible with sensors, communication modules and other devices, supporting the construction of a smart ocean.
