Surface Buoys, Floats and Vessel Fendering Systems
Advanced Insulation offer a wide range of Manuplas® products in to meet the growing demand for buoys and fender systems that are highly reliable, lightweight and able to withstand weathering and increasingly challenging marine conditions.
Products include: mooring buoys, navigation buoys, marker buoys, chain support buoys, pick up buoys, foam filled quayside fenders, donut and submarine fenders and vessel fendering systems.
Customers for Manuplas® buoys and floating fenders include ports, harbours, navies, marinas and sailing clubs.
Manuplas® high-performance buoys and floats are low-maintenance, practically unsinkable and are manufactured with a highly impact-absorbent and abrasion-resistant outer skin.
Manuplas® has been a leader in developing bespoke lightweight vessel fendering for over 15 years. Fenders can be applied to the side of a vessel or to the bow and installed as a single piece or as a series of multiple modules to suit the specific vessel.
Modular fender systems are easy and cost-effective to replace if sections become worn. Manuplas® has spent many years developing leading concepts for fendering systems mounted on windfarm service / crew transfer vessels and, in particular, modular bow fenders.
Customers for Manuplas® vessel fendering include vessel builders and operators, vessel maintenance companies and vessel owners.
Popular applications of Manuplas® fendering systems include wind farm support vessels, work boats, pilot boats, lifeboats, patrol boats, commercial vessels and luxury yacht tenders.
With reliability and durability as standard, Manuplas® fendering systems are also highly impact absorbent and virtually non-marking.
