The Basic Functions Of The Marine Ball

In the daily operation of ships, safe berthing is crucial. Whether it is a giant cargo ship or a small yacht, marine buoy balls (also called anti-collision balls or inflatable buoy balls) play a vital role as an important buffer device between the ship and the dock. The correct selection and use of marine berthing balls can not only protect ships and terminal facilities from damage, but also significantly improve the safety and efficiency of operations.

The marine ballast mainly undertakes the following important functions:

1. Absorb impact energy:
   When the ship approaches the dock or contacts other ships, the sling absorbs and disperses the impact force through deformation to prevent damage caused by direct collision.
2. Reduce friction damage:
   The elasticity and softness of the sling material can reduce the friction between the hull and the dock or other ships, and protect the hull coating and structure.
3. Provide stable support:
   The sling helps the ship to maintain stability in tides and waves, and reduces the impact of frequent movement on the ship and the dock.
