Chain Support Buoys
Hongruntong Marine’s chain support buoy is designed to support chafe chains and reduce tension in SPM systems. It provides reliable buoyancy and protects chains from seabed abrasion.
Hongruntong Marine manufactures engineered chain support buoy systems designed for demanding offshore applications. Our product range includes specialized chafe chain support buoy configurations and robust cylindrical chain support buoy designs, all manufactured to meet stringent OCIMF Specification Chain Support Buoy requirements. These professional support and mooring buoys provide essential chain protection and reliable buoyancy for vessel mooring operations in challenging marine environments.
Our chain support buoy systems represent the industry standard for offshore mooring protection, combining advanced engineering with durable marine-grade materials. The chafe chain support buoy variants feature enhanced abrasion resistance, while our cylindrical chain support buoy designs offer optimal hydrodynamic performance. Each OCIMF Specification Chain Support Buoy undergoes rigorous testing to ensure full compliance with international standards, making our support and mooring buoys the preferred choice for offshore operators worldwide.
