Impact-Resistant Outer Protection

The self-coloured polyurethane elastomer shell is designed to withstand repeated contact, rubbing and impact in active marine environments.

This makes the DX-EB1500 well suited to navigation marks deployed around ports, waterways and other working marine areas where surface protection is an important operating consideration.

300 kg Capacity for AtoN Equipment

The DX-EB1500 supports up to 300 kg equipment payload, providing practical capacity for project-specific navigation and monitoring equipment.

Optional equipment can include:

• Marine navigation lantern
• S-band or X-band RACON
• Passive radar reflector
• Battery box
• Other project-specific AtoN equipment

Adjusted to the Deployment Site

Water depth, mooring arrangement and required operating position can vary from one project to another.

The DX-EB1500 allows draft, waterline, ballast and structural height to be configured according to site conditions, helping the delivered buoy match the actual deployment requirement.

Practical Handling and Mooring

Integrated lifting lugs and mooring eyes provide defined connection points for transport, lifting, deployment and mooring.

The removable ballast block can also be configured according to water depth and mooring requirements.

Complete Buoy Configuration

Dexonmarine can configure the main components around the required navigation function, including:

• Buoy body and upper structure
• Marine lantern
• RACON or radar reflector
• Battery box
• Ballast arrangement
• Mooring connection
• Tower material and structural height

The buoy and installed AtoN equipment can be reviewed together before production to ensure the main components are matched to the project.

Suitable Applications

The DX-EB1500 is particularly suitable for:

• Port and harbour navigation marks
• Channel and waterway marking
• Coastal navigation aids
• Compact floating AtoN systems
• Projects requiring additional navigation or monitoring equipment
• Sites requiring project-specific draft or waterline adjustment

When to Choose the DX-EB1500

The DX-EB1500 is a suitable choice when the project requires:

• A compact 1500 mm navigation buoy
• An impact-resistant elastomer outer shell
• Up to 300 kg equipment payload
• Flexible integration of AtoN equipment
• Draft, ballast or waterline adjustment for site conditions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can RACON or other AtoN equipment be installed?

Yes. The DX-EB1500 can be configured with a marine lantern, RACON, radar reflector, battery box and other project-specific equipment within the approved payload and configuration.

Can the draft and ballast be adjusted?

Yes. Draft, waterline, ballast and structural height can be configured according to deployment and mooring requirements.

What tower materials are available?

The upper structure can be supplied in CCS-grade marine steel or 316 stainless steel, depending on project requirements.
