Marine Salvage Airbags (balloons) The salvage tubes are similar to enclosed-type lift bags while they are much stronger. They have evolved from ship launching airbags and have multi-plies reinforcement layers made of rubber and synthetic-tire-cords. The thickness of tube body exceeds 6 mm often. Salvage balloons are extensively used for jack up stranded vessel and lifting sunk ship. Advantages ◾Lighter. One 55 tonnes buoyancy bag weighs only 800 kg or less. ◾Reliable. Salvage airbag can withstand cutting ,puncture from most marine fouling. ◾Sinkable. Deflated salvage bags can sink into water ◾Balance. Sausage shape airbags achieve balance easily. ◾versatile.
