Anchors
We offer a range of both size and design of anchor dependent on the requirements of our customers and particular site conditions. The anchors we sell are all based on the SAMPSON design which is a drag-embedment type and holds a Lloyds High Holding Power certificate. We offer a MK2, MK3 and MK4 design, each being suited to a different situation. The anchors are sold in flat-pack kit form for on-site assembly or ready built. Standard sizes range from 15kg to 1.2 tonnes.
Chain
Kames can supply both new and reconditioned mooring chain, from 7mm up to 50mm link diameter. Our new chains are all European made and manufactured to DIN 764 or LRS U2. Due to the large quantity of chain Kames buy each year we can offer very competitive prices. If required, we can also supply a Lloyds Register of Shipping certificate with the chain. The reconditioned chain is also all works tested and is made of marine grade steel. This chain is made to one of the following specifications; BSS4492, BSS1663, BSS6405, DIN764, DIN762, LRSU1 or LRSU2.
Rope
Kames specialises in the supply of rope for use with permanent mooring of fish cages or shellfish production systems. For many years we have selected the best value rope with the highest technical specification. We have found this to be a polypropylene rope which is heat treated to provide a high tenacity structure with low elongation (10-14%), high UV resistance, good abrasion resistance and high breaking strain. Size ranges from 3mm
to 88mm diameter. Rope is made to EN919-1995 and ISO2307. Standard supply unit is in coils of 220 metres.

Buoys and Navigation Marks
Kames offers a range of specialised heavy duty mooring buoys ranging from 30 litres to 1500 litres. Mooring buoys are made with a rotationally moulded PE case with a minimum wall thickness of 6mm and are filled with foam. Steel fittings are all hot dip galvanised.
Navigation marks can also be made from rotationally moulded PE but can be made from fibreglass or steel in some cases. The design and shape of the navigation buoy will depend very much on the location . Oceanic locations requiring different design characteristics than those in more sheltered sites. Navigation marks may be required to have flashing beacons fitted and sometimes radar reflectors as well and for aquaculture sites will be denoted by the St Andrews cross yellow top mark .
