4. Mooring Requirements & Regulations
Please contact your local authority for any specic requirements regarding the deployment of buoys.
IALA also has guidelines and recommendations that should be followed.
All information given in this manual is advisory only. Please consult with your local authority before
deploying your buoy products.
Local conditions that need to be considered include:-
• Water depth
• Maximum currents
• Maximum wind speeds
• Sinker size and weight

TRIDENT-3000-HEX Ocean Buoy
The TRIDENT-3000 is one of the largest rotationally moulded buoys available, with a oat
diameter of 3 meters and lantern focal height of up to 5 meters.
The oat section of the Trident-3000 is built from four (4) roto-moulded quadrants, which fasten together to form an incredibly robust 3 meter wide oat section standing 1.8m tall. Each quadrant is moulded from UV-stabilised virgin polyethylene, and has an 18mm wall thickness.
The hexagonal tower design provides a large, robust superstructure and is built from marine grade aluminium subject to powder-coating in high visibility colours. The tower is capable of supporting additional payload.
Number of Lifting Points = 4 SWL for 2 or more lifting points = 8630kg (mooring point) Visual area = 7.1m2 (with daymark) SWL for 1 point lifting = 6000kg (deck and primary structure) Estimated roll period (bare) = 2.2sec Estimated roll period (moored) = 1.6sec

Check Components
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read all steps before commencing
Unpack all components from container. Inspect all components for any damage. Please alert Sealite if
any component is missing or damaged.
Float Assembly
Parts required for oat assembly:
STEP 1
Position the Mooring Post upside down on at level
ground.
STEP 2
Turn the 4 x Float Sections upside down, to match the
mooring post. Position the 4 x Float Sections around
the Mooring Post and start securing 2 x oat sections together using M16 x 80 Bolts, washers and nuts.
Coat each bolt in Anti-Seize or molybdenum disulphide
Grease before tting Nuts.

STEP 3
If an external moon pool is to be tted then locate the moon pool mount between two of the oat sections as shown. Align the moon pool mount and oat section junction with any one of the mooring post lifting eyes. It is recommended for ease of wiring that the mount be aligned with one of the lifting eye beams which also carries one of the hex tower mounting points (see top view). The lifting eye should be trapped by the channel at the inner most end of the moon pool mount (this prevents the mooring post from spinning in the oat during service).
Place a at washer on the bolt before sliding it through the hole in the Float Section, then t a second at washer and a Spring washer on to the bolt before securing with a nut.
Hand tighten 2 – 4 bolts (M16 x 80) per side until all four Float sections are secured around the mooring post. When a moon pool
is to be tted, 8 longer connecting bolts (M16 x 90) and 9 packing washers are supplied for incorporation with the oat assembly as shown.
Secure 8 x bolts down each joint on the Float Sections.
Leave the Mooring post and Float to settle for 4 hours or overnight before tightening each bolt a second time. Giving the buoy time to
relax in the tted position will create a better joint.

STEP 4
Fit and secure 2 of the 4 Float Straps around the top, and 2 of the 4 Float Straps around the bottom of the Float.
Position 2 x Float Straps on the ground and join the two Straps
together by placing 1 x Tie Rod through the holes and 1 x M16 Nut on each side.
Repeat this for the second set of Straps.
Wrap the Float Straps around the Float Section and join the loose
side using a Tie Rod and 2 x nuts. Repeat for the second Float Strap
When the Float Straps are tted in position tighten the nuts on the
Tie Rods and add a Spring Washer and second nut to each side. Tighten all nuts securely.
STEP 5
Use a crane to turn the Float and Mooring Post upright.
Please Note: The buoy weighs around 3 tonnes when fully assembled. Please be careful when rotating or otherwise lifting the Buoy.
The buoy will be unstable after turning upright. Secure with heavy chocks and tie in place where possible. Assembly staff must be careful when working in proximity to the buoy and particularly if standing on any part of the buoy.

Marine Buoy Maintenance
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.
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
Mooring – 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 on the mooring pin. 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 specic Marine Lantern tted to the Buoy.
