Suitcase Anchor Pendant Buoys could be supplied in suitcase, modular and non-modular types, varied in sizes. They are produced with removable central steelwork configured as per the customer’s requirements – be it the typical handling crucifix/ padeye arrangement or a through hawse for use with anchor wire rather than chain.
We design suitcase anchor pendant buoys to tolerant rigorous conditions associated with offshore and subsea industry.
Anchor pendant buoys construction
Suitcase Anchor Pendant Buoys are manufactured from resilient, closed cell polyethene foam. The closed cell structure of resilient PE foam core means suitcase anchor pendant buoys will not absorb water, even if buoy skin is punctured to maintain buoyancy and functionality. Designed specifically with large flat surfaces for safe and secure storage onboard anchor handling vessels, Ronsen suitcase anchor pendant buoys have an enviable reputation for quality and performance.
Ronsen suitcase anchor pendant buoys are constructed by laminating resilient PE foam around a central steel member with a number of internal load distribution plates, together with large gussets welded in position. This resilient PE/EVA core ensures that the foam buoy is completely self-fendering. The rectangular shape also allows easy and safe storage and transportation. The whole core is encapsulated within a self colored polyurethane elastomer protective coating which is resilient to abrasion and ultra violet degradation.
Buoy performances
Below table shows a range of standard sizes only, other sizes or specific buoyancy / dimensions required are evaluated on application. A variety of steelwork options, e.g. anchor cross, pad eye, swivels etc. are available. Standard colors are orange or yellow but other colors are available on request. Further options are available also.
