In the prior art, high-density materials such as cement or ballast iron are generally used as ballast, and the additional weight of the ballast is an important factor for increasing the cost of constructing, carrying and maintaining the buoy. Because the weight of the existing 10-meter buoy reaches 50-60 tons and is limited by the weight of the buoy, the requirements on ship performance and deck mechanical equipment for carrying out offshore buoy operation are higher, at present, only 2 professional buoy operation ships (1 each in the east sea and the south sea) with the capacity of carrying, hoisting and recovering large and medium buoys at sea exist in China, except for the marine buoy, other ships do not have the capacity of carrying, hoisting and recovering the large and medium buoys at sea, but the cost is higher if the marine buoy is used for carrying, hoisting and recovering the large and medium buoys at sea, and the existing 10-meter buoy hoisting and recovering needs that the ships have A-type erection hoisting equipment with the dynamic load of not less than 750KN (about 75 tons).
