Ship launching airbag

Product Details

Ship launching airbag (also known as marine airbag, rubber airbag, and ship launching balloon) are made of synthetic-tire-cord reinforcement layers and rubber layers. They are specialized vulcanized rubber airbags that are used for launching and upgrading marine vessels. This method of launching ships is called airbag launching, which is based on log-rolling method.

Comparing with traditional ship launching methods such as side-way launching, this one requires less permanent infrastructure and lower cost.

Ship launching airbags are ideal for supporting the hull of ships and providing a safer and smoother ship launching motion into water. They are normally used for tankers, tugboats, towboat, barges, cargo ship, ferries, seagoing vessels, passenger ships, AHTS, DSV and other special vessels up to 100,000 DWT.
