Resinex tilting mooring buoys for the Mina Justa project

Mina Justa project where Resinex collaborated with the installation of tilting mooring buoys

Resinex has been cooperating with companies in the mining industry for years, providing different kind of buoys for the operations of big vessels that deal with loading and unloading of materials.
Currently, Mina Justa is one of the most important mining projects Resinex is working on: it consists of an open pit copper deposit with a useful life of 16 years located in the Nazca Province, around 500 km south Lima, Perù.

The site is connected to the Terminal Multiboyas in San Juan Bay – Marcona, where 4 jumbo tilting mooring buoys, 3 high buoyancy pendant support buoys and 1 light buoy manufactured by Resinex were delivered to ensure safe and smooth vessels’ operations.
The order of the 8 Resinex buoys was confirmed in the second half of 2019 by Ausenco, EPCM contractor for the Mina Justa Project, with Marcobre, owner of the Mine, as final client. The mooring buoys have a net buoyancy of 41 tons, a diameter of 5,8 meters and a height of 2 meters . They are made of 16 unsinkable modular floats and their manual double quick release hook has a SWL of 2×100 tons.
The light buoy has a diameter of 1 m, a focal plane of 1,2 m and a self-contained marine lantern, while the pendant support buoys have a marine lantern Sealite SL-60 with GPS sync. The net buoyancy of the pendant buoys is 5,8 tons, with a SWL of 30 tons.

The average annual production of Mina Justa is expected to reach 149.000 tons of copper concentrate and 58.000 tons of copper cathodes.
