Rubber Blocking Buoys
Rubber Blocking Buoys from Hongruntong Marine are purpose-built heavy-duty solutions for blocking passages, protecting harbors, and controlling navigation areas. Designed for commercial and industrial marine use, our large rubber blocks and huge black rubber buoys combine rugged materials, reinforced construction and flexible installation options to deliver reliable, long-lasting passage blocking and containment.
Rubber Blocking Buoys are engineered floatation and blocking devices used to close channels, protect work zones, and create temporary or semi-permanent barriers at ports, marinas and offshore sites. Hongruntong Marine manufactures a range of sizes and configurations — solid rubber, foam-filled or hollow with reinforced shell — so you can choose the best balance of buoyancy, weight and durability for your project.
Key Features
Durable Rubber Construction — High-grade rubber compound (SBR/NR blend) resists saltwater, UV, oil and abrasion for extended service life.
Reinforced Core — Multi-layer textile cord or embedded reinforcement for impact resistance and reduced deformation.
Multiple Filling Options — Solid, foam-filled or hollow (with internal chamber) to meet buoyancy and handling preferences.
Heavy Duty Attachment Points — Built-in stainless steel or galvanised lifting eyes and mooring bales for safe towing and anchoring.
Rapid Deployment — Modular design and manageable lifting points enable quick installation with standard marine equipment.
Low Maintenance — Simple cleaning and inspection; long replacement intervals reduce operating costs.
Customizable — Sizes, eye position, hardware, and marking/branding available to project specifications.
Typical Applications
Port and marina passage closure
Emergency containment and spill response zones
Construction site isolation (dredging, pile driving, repair works)
Temporary channel re-routing and navigation control
Harbor protection during special events or military drills
Offshore platform work area demarcation

Hardware: stainless steel AISI 316 or hot-dip galvanized lifting eyes and shackles (as requested)
Color: standard black (high-visibility markings or colored panels available)
Environmental & performance
Operating temperature range: approx. −45°C to +80°C (depends on compound)
Resistance: saltwater, oils, sunlight, abrasion
Service life: typically 8–15 years depending on service conditions and maintenance
Certification: manufacturing and testing to client-specified standards; class approvals (DNV/ABS/CCS) available on request
Custom options
Foam filling density and buoyancy tuning
Interlocking edges / connector hardware for continuous block lines
High-visibility reflective panels, logos and numbering
Anti-abrasion skid pads or sacrificial covers
Installation & Maintenance (Short Guide)
Installation: Tow or lift the buoys into position using rated lifting points; anchor per project mooring plan. For continuous barriers, connect modular blocks with supplied shackles or link chains.
Inspection: Visual check for cuts, deformation, hardware integrity every 3–6 months (or after major events).
Maintenance: Clean with fresh water and mild detergent; replace worn shackles and inspect reinforcement points. Repair kits and in-field vulcanization services are available.
Storage: Store away from direct sunlight and hydrocarbons when not in service; avoid contact with sharp objects.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between foam-filled and solid Rubber Blocking Buoys?
A: Foam-filled buoys offer positive buoyancy even if the outer skin is punctured; solid rubber blocks are heavier and more impact-resistant but may offer less buoyancy per volume. Choice depends on handling equipment and buoyancy requirements.
Q: Can you deliver custom sizes or bespoke designs?
A: Yes. Hongruntong Marine specializes in custom designs — we provide drawings, buoyancy/load calculations and prototype options.
Q: How long does delivery take?
A: Lead time depends on size, quantity and customization. Typical production lead time for standard models is quoted per inquiry — contact our sales team for an exact schedule.
Q: What hardware is provided?
A: Standard supply includes stainless or galvanized lifting eyes and mooring points. Heavy-duty shackles, chain and connectors are available as options.
Q: Are these buoys suitable for permanent use?
A: Rubber Blocking Buoys are designed for long service life, but periodic inspection and maintenance are recommended. For permanent installations, we advise specifying materials and hardware for long-term marine exposure.
Q: What warranty do you offer?
A: Standard commercial warranty terms apply; extended warranties and service agreements are available based on project scope.
Q: Can you meet classification society requirements or provide test reports?
A: Yes — Hongruntong Marine can produce test reports, material certificates and cooperate with classification societies (DNV, ABS, CCS) on request.
