The
MB-84 Buoy, when moored with BuoyTec's Elastic Mooring
Array, provides the industry with pin-point accuracy for such
critical tasks as pipeline and underwater hazard marking, dredged
material management, and as guard buoys for the oceanographic
community. These buoys are limited to a horizontal buoy displacement
of 5 to 10% of the water depth by the elastically tethered configurations,
compared to the 150 to 300% typical of conventional slack mooring
schemes.
