Black Sea Oil & Gas, in collaboration with the ABL group, has recently enlisted the expertise of the Resinex team, commissioning the production of a PEM 58×1300 catamaran buoy.
The catamaran buoy is a special type of mooring buoy patented by Resinex in the late 1980s. It is designed with a unique Multi-Lever System that, supporting the mooring tension, allows the buoy to remain always in a horizontal position.
The modular design of these buoys enables adjustable buoyancy to ensure high stability even in extreme sea conditions. The buoy is made up of unsinkable modular floats, surrounded by rubber fenders to absorb impacts and equipped with a non-slip surface. It weighs 18 tons and has a net buoyancy of 27 tons.
The buoy was fitted with a marine lantern with a range of 4 nautical miles, an integrated AIS system, a top mark with radar reflector, and a mooring shackle with a safe working load (SWL) of 150 tons.
The buoy was shipped disassembled to the Black Sea Oil & Gas facility in Romania, on the Black Sea, where a Resinex technician assisted with the assembly process.
