Ship launching airbags are known as roller bags, launching air balloons, inflatable marine airbags, air lift bags, and salvage bags. Ship launching airbags are specialized marine rubber air bags that are used for launching marine vessels. ship landing or haul-outs. Marine rubber airbags are also widely used in loading, floating, lifting and moving sunken ships, and salvaging stranded boats. Rubber airbags are made of heavy-duty synthetic-tire-cord layers with inner and out rubber layers in a long cylindrical balloon shape
Ship launching or upgrading using marine airbags is an innovative ship-launching technology. It overcomes the disadvantage of “end-on launching”, “side ship launching”, and “float-out”. This ship-launching technology overcomes the restrictions of the fixed launching track of side-launch
This flexible ship launching technology is accepted by more shipyards worldwide because of its advantages of saving time, investment flexibility and safety. We are constantly innovating in terms of design, material usage & manufacturing technologies throughout the years to ensure flexibility, safety, and reliability
Up to now, more cargo vessels, barges, chemical tankers, tugboats, AHTS vessels, floating docks, and even construction caissons have all been launched using our ship-launching rubber airbags. The biggest vessel launched by ship launching airbags up to 100,000DWT
