Mooring Buoy A Mooring Buoy system consists of multiple steel buoys. The exact configuration depends on water depth, field requirements and environmental conditions. Typically it is a pattern of four to eight mooring points used to moor tankers. Each point consists of a rigid buoy moored to the seabed by a chain and an anchor. The prime purpose of each buoy is to act as an anchoring point for the tanker to berth. The buoys are moored to the seabed, therefore, the tanker berths without use of its own anchors.
Offshore mooring buoy, also known as water drum buoy, drum type mooring equipment which floats on the water surface and connects the anchor in the bottom of water with the anchor chains. Offshore mooring buoy is used for typhoon resistance mooring, anchorage mooring, temporary mooring and other mooring systems. It is usually arranged in the anchorage space of the inside and outside harbor.
