FAQ - SOLAS 73 cm heavy-duty crown buoy

Can it be combined with a reversing flash light?

Yes, this model is suitable for configurations requiring association with a reversing flash light, notably for certain safety equipment on commercial vessels. Please check the compatibility of the flash light used with the planned installation.

What should I check before ordering this buoy?

Before ordering, you need to check whether the installation requires a separate jet line, a suitable wall or rack support, a compatible flip-flash light, and the requirements applicable to the ship, quay or site concerned.
