This orange mooring buoy, measuring 520 × 1030 mm with 55 L of buoyancy, is used to mark and support a mooring system. Orange is chosen for visibility — a buoy has to be conspicuous at dusk and in waves, because an unseen buoy is a common cause of propeller and rudder damage to boats passing by.
The 55 L buoyancy determines how much load the buoy can hold at the surface: the mooring chain, rope and fittings. A buoy with too little buoyancy is dragged under as the tide rises or the current picks up and stops doing its job, so buoyancy is chosen according to the actual weight of the gear hanging from it. The manufacturer code is CAN GA2323.
