Million Orders for Buoys & Lanterns

With more than 4.470 km of coastline and only a few ports that handle 95% of all goods transported to the country, the requirements for safe navigation marking are usually high. Combined with the violent and dynamic conditions in the North Atlantic & Arctic waters around Iceland, these requirements are extra high.

Green Harbor Technology is therefore extra proud to be chosen by no less than 3 different customers in Iceland to supply buoys and lanterns for critical entrances to 3 different ports in Iceland. Including the Port of Reykjavik with a challenging entry for larger ships.

The three orders include 3 different types and sizes of robust buoys from FullOceans:

FLC-1200: Side markings
FLC-1800: Side markings
FLC-2200: Compass marking

All FullOceans Navigation Buoys are made of rotationally molded plastic without welding, and of partially recycled plastic granules where the color is in the granules. This means that in addition to being extremely durable and solid, they are environmentally friendly and never need to be painted. They are already used in arctic environments and in environments with strong currents, and are e.g. approved by the American as well as the Canadian Maritime Administration.

All the buoys will be equipped with LED-based high-tech lanterns from SABIK Marine, designed for Nordic & Arctic conditions in an innovative design with state-of-the-art production in the highest quality.

SABIK Lanterns are approved and used by all 5 Nordic Sea administrations – including IRCA from Iceland.

The lanterns chosen are:

• VP LED Lanterns: Robust ice lantern chosen for the special northern locations
• M860: Powerful self-sufficient (solar powered) lanterns designed for northern locations

Buoys & Lanterns are now on their way to Iceland and will be collected and laid out during the summer months.

GHT is proud to help ensure Navigation and sailing to and from Icelandic Ports, and looks forward to further projects in the future.

Bøjer & Lanterner er nu undervejs til Island og kommer at blive samlet og udlagt under sommermånederne.

GHT er stolte over at være med til at sikre Navigation og sejlads til og fra Islandske Havne, og ser frem imod yderligere projekter i fremtiden.
