Pelampung duwe macem-macem jinis lan spesifikasi, sing bisa dipérang dadi pelampung kali darat lan pelampung laut miturut wilayah banyu sing disebar. Pelampung kali daratan kalebu pelampung drum, pelampung segitiga, pelampung bar, pelampung aliran silang, pelampung navigasi kiwa lan tengen, lan liya-liyane. nduweni teges tartamtu. Wangun dhasar awak pelampung ing segara kalebu tank, kerucut, bal, kolom, rod, lan liya-liyane. Amarga pengaruh angin, ombak lan pasang, awak target nduweni jarak ngambang tartamtu lan ora bisa digunakake minangka tandha kanggo nemtokake posisi kapal.
Fungsi pelampung yaiku kanggo menehi tandha shoal of channel utawa alangan sing mbebayani keamanan navigasi. Pelampung sing dilengkapi lampu kasebut diarani pelampung cahya, sing bisa dilengkapi lampu suar surya, kelip-kelip sinkron GPS, remot kontrol lan sistem lampu suar telemetri, lan digunakake kanggo bantuan navigasi ing banyu sing bisa dilayari awan lan wengi. Sawetara pelampung uga bisa dilengkapi transponder radar lan peralatan tambahan liyane.
Buoys and light buoys are floating beacons, which are reserved at the design position with anchorage equipment, have a certain radius of gyration, and their own positions are not fixed, so they can only be used to aid navigation. The commonly used buoys are generally made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, steel plate and glass fiber reinforced plastic. One end is tied to the bottom, and it floats on the water itself to indicate the limits of the channel, obstacles and dangerous areas.
