Magellan Navigational Aids

The Magellan range of navigational aids have been designed and built in Australia for harshest environmental conditions. Comprised of a perfectly cylindrical profile to reduce structural fatigue and a foam filled inner, the Magellan buoys are built to last.

  • Stable and streamlined design
  • Designed for the most severe weather conditions
  • Available with day shapes and solar navigation lights
  • Focal height from 2.1m upwards
  • Complete solution from anchor to top mark
  • Standard or heavy duty foam filled construction
  • Can be modified for shallow or deep-water locations with custom ballasting

Magellan buoys are rota-moulded with steel inserts allowing for the easy and durable retrofitting of structural tie bars after the moulding is complete. This fully sealed design, coupled with a foam filled hull, ensures a strong and durable marker buoy which will not sink if damaged or punctured.
