Tail Buoys
Ovun has since the 1990´s developed and delivered Tail Buoys to most seismic companies worldwide. We have a wide range of Tail Buoys and electronic systems that fit most applications.
Ovun has developed a new generation of controllable Tail Buoys
- The Tail Buoys are designed to simplify handling of the streamer cables
- Self contained power system with solar panel, underwater generator, onboard battery and charger system to interface to streamer power.
- LED signal light with long range and wide vertical opening for marking the buoy’s position.
- Each Tail Buoy is marked with a serial number for QA tracking and identification
- The Tail Buoys are manufactured in a plastic material called polyethylene. This material represents a superior combination of high stress crack rate, high strength, and high tear resistance
