Norfloat - Buoys, Fenders and Navigational Aids
Norfloat International is a wholly owned British Company with its origins in Norway. It is one of the original manufacturers of of inflatable buoys and fenders, and the name has been known world-wide for nearly forty years.
Today the company has the largest range of buoys and fenders of any manufacturers worldwide and has been awarded ISO 9001 certification by BVQI.
Norfloat also has a prominent position within the world's manufacturers of aids to navigation, the range of products including buoys, towers and lanterns and the company is a member of IALA.
The company policy has always been to produce good, seaworthy buoyage, using the latest easy to maintain materials. Marine Architects have been used to assist in the design and to help develop inherently stable buoys that have self righting characteristics. Whilst appreciating the need for good and sometimes sophisticated lanterns and control systems, the Norfloat principles of manufacturing as stable a platform as possible can reduce electric's costs in comparison to many other aids to navigation suppliers. The basic principle of keeping it simple with good initial design can always save money and simplify maintenance in the long term.

With an appreciation of the difficulties of maintenance, particularly on items that are constantly moving in the sea, we have now embarked on a further programme of design re-evaluation to assist in such problems. We firmly believe that if buoyage is easy to maintain, then maintenance will be done and not avoided.
We aim to provide practical solutions for practical users. |
