Oil exploration in the Caspian sea area is experiencing a boom period as is demonstrated by the numerous requests for Resinex products from various companies. Nine Resinex Pdr 4000 pennant buoys were recently positioned in the Caspian sea by the Marine Engineering Technology of St. Petersburg for operations linked to the activities of the fleet.
These were big buoys with a 4.000 kg net buoyancy, enormous parallelepipeds in polyurethane foam covered with polyurethane elastomer and fitted with a lampoon the upper part in order to signal its presence.
102 anchorage buoys were ordered by the Scottish company Emm Corporation for its offshore activities in the Caspian and were consigned by Resinex at the end of 2008 to the port of Baku in Azerbaijan.
Produced in linear rotational PE and filled with polyurethane foam, they were mounted on a metal part projected by the consignee so as to form a series of 17 buoys, each consisting of six modules of 2,2 metres in length and 1 metre thick. The net buoyancy of each buoy is 25,6 tonnes.We also supplied in May 2008 14 light buoys to Baku on behalf of Caspian Engineering.
