The DB2200 is a robust 2200mm diameter data buoy platform engineered for demanding offshore and long-duration monitoring programmes. With its large hull volume, excellent stability, and expanded moon pool, the DB2200 supports heavier payloads, multiple sensors, and higher-power installations where reliability and endurance are essential.  

Build within the proven Gannet buoy family, the platform features a modular design and a reinforced central steel core that securely connects the lifting and mooring eyes, giving exceptional strength and consistent performance in exposed marine environments.  

Features & Benefits

Specifications

✔ Heavy-Duty Marine Construction 

Manufactured from UV-stabilised, virgin polyethylene, the DB2200 is designed to withstand long-term offshore exposure, impact forces, and challenging marine conditions.  

✔ Three Daymark Options 

Available with one polyethylene or two aluminium daymark configurations, providing flexibility for different environmental loads, visibility requirements, and project specifications.  

✔ Large Central Moon Pool (Ø390mm) 

A winder moon pool accommodates larger or more complex sensor packages, including ADCPs, hydroacoustic systems, multiparameter probes, and specialised instrumentation.  

✔ Ready for Solar Panel Mounting 

The daymark tower supports customer-installed solar panels suitable for powering external batteries, telemetry units, and high-demand monitoring equipment.  

✔ High Stability and Payload Capacity 

With its substantial buoyancy and increased draft, the DB2200 is ideal for deployments involving heavier electronics, multi-sensor arrays, or elevated power requirements.  

✔ Sustainable Materials 

All JFC Marine Buoys are produced using 100% recyclable materials. 

✔ Optional Foam Filling 

Foam-filled variants provide additional impact resistance, buoyancy retention, and structural security in harsh offshore environments.
