Offshore and dredging

Offshore and dredging

Maru Watersport & Industry supplies offshore companies specializing in offshore activities such as oil and gas extraction and wind farms. Since 1960, we have been supplying Polyform buoys and floats to offshore companies both at home and abroad.

Polyform Norway is known for its high-quality buoys and floats. This is of great importance in the offshore industry. Polyform’s buoys and floats are used in the offshore industry as:

• Marking and navigation buoys: Polyform’s buoys are often used to mark important areas at sea, such as shipping lanes and locations of subsea installations. These buoys are essential for safe navigation at sea.
• Mooring buoys: On oil platforms and wind farms, mooring buoys are often used when docking ships and maintenance boats.
• Wind farms: In offshore wind farms, buoys are used to mark the locations of turbines and submarine cables.

Polyform’s buoys and floats are durable and can withstand harsh sea conditions.

Buoys for dredging companies

Dredging companies have long used Polyform buoys, including for:

• Marking of dredging sites: Dredging companies often need to mark specific areas where dredging is taking place. Polyform’s buoys are used to mark these locations and inform other vessels of the work.
• Anchoring and positioning of dredgers: Buoys can be used as anchoring points for dredgers. They help keep vessels stable during the dredging process, especially in varying sea conditions and tides.
• Protection of pipes and cables: Subsea pipes, cables and pipelines may be exposed during dredging operations. Polyform cuffs are used to mark and protect this. We also offer underwater buoys for keeping submarine cables afloat, among other things.
• Safety and signaling: buoys are used to indicate zones where dredging is taking place. This warns other shipping to stay away.
