The DB1250 is a compact 1250mm diameter data buoy platform designed for coastal and inshore monitoring applications. Its lightweight construction, stable full form, and central moon pool make it idea for projects requiring straightforward deployment and reliable sensor integration.
As part of the Gannet Buoy range, the DB1250 features a modular design and a robust central steel core, securely linking the lifting and mooring eyes for exceptional structural strength. The platform supports customer-installed instrumentation, power systems, and telemetry equipment, providing a flexible base for a wide range of environmental and oceanographic projects.
