Ship Launching Airbag Marine Rubber Airbag Heavy Lift Air Bags Marine Rubber Airbag

Generally airbag ship launching is carried out on a ramp, with suitable angle the vessel can move into water by the sliding force from its gravity once the holding system is released.
There are two methods of holding system releasing corresponds to free launching" and“controlled launching" separately. The free launching means the connection of holding system with vessel will be unlashed when vessel is launched , it needs wide water area.

Boat launching airbags are a cost-effective option for launching and towing boats, inflated with compressed air to create a cushion of air between the boat and the ground, allowing the boat to be launched safely and easily. Our engineers will carefully consider size, quality and suppliers can help ensure the most cost-effective option for your use environment. This is a popular and cost effective method of launching and towing vessels.

In case the launch water area is limited, the controlled launch is preferred. Winches will be released slowly to control
the movement of vessel, once vessel floats, it will be stopped by winches' pulling.
Applicability of airbag ship launching
The airbag launching feasibility of a specified vessel should be calculated first but there are some simple rules may
help people to know launch feasbility quickly.
The majority of airbag ship launching is end launching but side launching is feasible only when some rigorous
conditions are satisfied.
Vessels whose DWT below 70,000 tonnes may be launched with airbags. Regarding bigger vessels only by calculation
people can know the launch feasibility.
Airbag ship docking/beaching introduction

General introduction of Ship launching with marine airbags
The traditional ship launching methods include end on launching,side launching and dry dock floating. Most airbag
ship launching are end on launching.
