- Rules for Materials and Welding (2015, CCS)
- JT/T 760-2009 — General Technical Conditions for Buoys
- JT/T 761-2009 — General Technical Conditions for Aids to Navigation Lanterns
- GB 4696-2016 — Aids to Navigation for Chinese Sea Areas
- GB/T 549-2017 — Welded Anchor Chains
- GB 553-1983 — Chain Laying, Painting and Marking
- HY/T 143-2011 — Small Ocean Environment Monitoring Buoys
Key Features & Design
The intelligent buoy leverages the stable and secure
station-keeping characteristics of traditional navigation buoys
while integrating modern meteorological and oceanographic monitoring capabilities.
Navigation Components
- Marine lantern, tower frame, daymark, night vision lantern, and
buoy body meet all AtoN standards.
Meteorological Instruments
- Top platform supports installation of multiple sensors, including:
- Wind speed & direction
- Temperature & humidity
- Air pressure
- Visibility
- Camera & AIS antenna
Oceanographic Instruments
- Bottom-mounted instrument well accommodates:
- ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler)
- CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) and other sensors
- Enables long-term, high-accuracy data collection in complex sea
conditions.
Structural Design
- Buoy diameter: 3 m
- Float body: rotationally molded LLDPE with EPS foam core
- Frame: marine-grade stainless steel
- Lantern tower: conforms to HF2.4 m channel buoy standard
- Draft: 2 m
- Freeboard height: > 1 m
- Focal plane height: > 4.5 m
Application Scenarios
The new intelligent buoy serves both as a channel navigation aid and an ocean monitoring platform.
It is ideal for:
- Harbor and channel marking
- Offshore bridge or wind farm monitoring
- Coastal research stations
- Environmental and meteorological observation
With its modular design, robust structure, and compliance with
industry standards, this buoy provides a comprehensive smart navigation and data acquisition solution—enhancing maritime safety while delivering reliable ocean data in
real time.
