Three big mooring buoys type PEM 43 SQ Resinex Catamaran have been supplied to PDVSA during 2010. The buoys have been projected with a squared shape in order to facilitate the boat approach during mooring operations.
Each buoy guarantees a high performance mooring to the ships thanks to the single nett buoyancy of 17.500 kgs and to the Resinex patented lever system that minimizes the buoy tilting. Each Catamaran buoy has a quick release hook (QRH) of 90 tons (tested for a proof load of 135 tons). During 2010 PDVSA has also received from Resinex 9 light buoys type PEM 21 (2100 mm diameter) with a steel structure supported by a large plastic float – nautical visibility is 5 NM.
