15 articulated buoys to be installed at São Francisco do Sul’s access channel to improve visibility
Sep, 13, 2021 Posted by Sylvia SchandertWeek 202136
Fifteen articulated buoys measuring between 27-30 meters are at the Port of São Francisco do Sul, waiting to be installed at the port´s access channel. The bases of them will be fixed to the bottom of the sea, using a 12-ton weight and their rods will be visible at a height of 9 meters above the water level, thus improving visibility. Currently, buoys only appear 2.5 meters above the water.
The light emitted by the new equipment will reach approximately 10 nautical miles, equivalent to 18 kilometers. Currently the light reaches about 3 nautical miles.
The project was approved by the Brazilian Navy’s Directorate of Hydrography and Navigation and should be completed by the end of the year.
