Buoy maintenance

Independent assessment and expert maintenance of your buoys, moorings, lights, structures and beacons

Timely, professional maintenance of aids to navigation is essential for safety at sea. Our service includes periodic cleaning, examination and maintenance using our specialised fleet of vessels.

At each location we carry out an annual inspection and planned, preventative maintenance that includes checking location, moorings and exhibited character, lifting and cleaning, repair or replacement of parts and an annual condition report including advice and recommendations.

The buoy maintenance programme

Trinity House maintain and manage buoys as part of our statutory work as the General Lighthouse Authority. We utilise the same knowledge and expertise to provide services to customers through our buoy life cycle programme. Periodic maintenance on-site is part of that programme.
