ATLANTIC 3000 Ocean Buoy
The ATLANTIC-3000 is a 3m diameter navigation buoy designed
for offshore port and coastal applications. This innovative product is
manufactured almost entirely from polyethylene, offering significant
advantages over steel or hybrid designs.
All Plastic Design
The ATLANTIC-3000 is the only buoy in its class to offer a large 3m diameter float
section without the incorporation of a central mooring post. The float section of the
ATLANTIC-3000 is built from a large central chamber with a ring of float collars. This
design offers several benefits including:-
• Faster, safer and easier to assembly
• Lightweight – up to 60% lighter than competitor models
• Replaceable exterior sections in the event of impact damage
• Multiple buoyancy chambers to provide a higher level of redundancy
• Ability to interchange colours to provide striped combinations such as IALA safe water
or wreck marks.
Above the waterline, the polyethylene tower is complemented by day panels to create a
large visual area for improved recognition at distance.
10TN Safe Working Load
Large, integrated lifting and mooring eyes offer a safe working load of up to 10T (2-eye
lift) which is comparable to traditional steel designs. This is achieved by an innovative
strengthened internal bracing design that connects these lifting and mooring points.
Easier to assemble, deploy and service
When compared to other 3m navigation buoys, the ATLANTIC is easier to assemble, deploy
and service. The buoy can be easily manoeuvred around site by convenient forklift access
points, is lightweight and can sit flat on the deck of a vessel.
The ATLANTIC-3000 can be supplied in all IALA colours, and can carry a signifcant payload
including power supplies, met hydro and telemetric equipment.

Central Float & Collar Assembly:-
1. Position the central float on firm level ground.
2. Fit M10 x 45 bolts into the inserts around the upper perimeter of the central float and on
the upper inner edge of each collar. Tighten lightly.
3. Lift each collar up to the central float by first hooking the bottom inner lip of the collar
under the circumferential lip of the central float and then rotating the collar (use a
suitable lifting method for collar weight of around 60Kg).
4. With M10 bolts in the central float and collar aligned, slip a link over the two M10 bolts.
This temporarily holds the collar in a position where the upper lip of the collar prevents it
from falling.
5. Position all 8 collars similarly then loosely install M16 x 80 SS bolts with washers and
nuts (fit a Ø16 flat washer against each polyethylene part and a Ø16 spring washer
under the M16 nut.
6. Sequentially tighten all M16 bolts/nuts until firm. Remove all links and M10 bolts and set
aside.
Coat each nut & exposed bolt tail with an anti-seize compound or molybdenum disulphide grease
prior to assembly.

Tower Assembly:-
1. Place the main tower in an upright position on firm level ground.
2. Lift the tower top assembly onto the top of the main tower with the guard rail located
at right angles to the hatch on the main tower (weight of the tower top is around 50-60
kg). The M10 bolt tails protruding through the top of the main tower should pass through
mating holes in the tower top. If necessary, tap the bolt tails into alignment using a block
of wood and hammer.
3. If day marks are to be installed, then fit the four day mark mounting plates over the
exposed M10 bolt tails.
4. Fit the ladder upper mount plate (4 fixing holes) over the exposed M10 bolt tails under
the guard rail hoop (ladder mounting lugs should be pointing down).
5. Place an M10 flat washer and spring washer over each M10 bolt tail (14 places).
Coat each nut & exposed bolt tail with an anti-seize compound or molybdenum disulphide grease.
6. Fit an M10 nut over each of the exposed M10 bolt tails and tighten until firm.
7. If day marks are to be installed then fit the day mark brackets. Take two M10 x 25 SS
Cap Screws and fit a Ø10 flat washer to each. Insert tail-down through two adjacent
holes in the day mark mounting plates and fit a day mark bracket on the under side of
the day mark mounting plate with the spiggot pointing down.
Coat each cap screw tail with an anti-seize compound or molybdenum disulphide grease.
8. Fit a Ø10 flat washer, Ø10 spring washer and plain M10 nut to each of the socket screws.
Tighten to 35 Nm (26 ft.lb).
9. Repeat for remaining day mark brackets.

1. Position the float assembly on firm level ground.
2. Place all four tower flange plates around the central float flange. There is a 110mm
wide bump on the outside edge of each plate which should be positioned over one of
the central float webs. (The flange plate doesn’t have a top or bottom, however, all four
plates should be oriented in the same way).
3. Carefully lift the tower assembly onto the middle of the float assembly (the weight of the
tower assembly will be around 110-130 kg).
The hatch location in the base tower (ie. the flat recess) must be aligned with one of the float
webs which incorporates a lifting eye. This avoids potential snagging of lifting equipment with
the ladder or guard rail.

Marine Buoy – Annual Maintenance
• Visually inspect buoy for damage.
• Inspect the top mark for any damage. Repair any broken or damaged section.
• Clean buoy of animal debris.
Marine Buoy – Annual Maintenance
• Check and clear the tail and ride chains from shells and algae.
• Check for wear on any swivel and shackle axis and check the tapered pins. Any worn
swivels and shackles must be replaced.
• Check the free movement of each swivel around its head. If any swivel head sticks it
must be replaced.
• Check every link of the thrash length of the chain. Check the diameter of the nips and
sides and also inspect the welds on every link.
• If depth allows, a worn riding chain may be reversed.
• Change a chain when any link shows excessive wear. Chain must be replaced if any link
wears to less than 3/5 of the original diameter.
Mooring – Biannual Maintenance
• Inspect the ground chain and sinker.
Lanterns – Maintenance
• Please refer to the Installation Manual for the specific Marine Lantern fitted to the Buoy.
Sealite Marine Buoys are designed to require very little maintenance. We recommend
the buoy be inspected annually. Inspection may need to increase depending on the local
conditions and the position of the buoy.
IALA Recommendation AISM E-107 suggests moorings are inspected annually.
