Ship Moving Salvage / Landing Balloon Airbag

Ship Moving Salvage / Landing Balloon Airbag. On October 7th, 2002, the oil tanker "Zhou Hai You 28" of ten thousand dwt class built up in Huangyan Jixiang Dock Company, Taizhou city, Zhejiang province, was launched smoothly using ChangLin Airbags. It is 138 meters in overall length, 19 meters in width with the displacement of more than fifteen thousand tons, the launching weight is more than four thousand tons, opening a new stage that application of airbags to launch the ship of more than ten thousand dwt.

Our Marine Airbag material used from Thailand Nature rubber RSS3, the best material for the rubber, higher Elastic; Chinlon cord, 30KGN/piece, high strength than Dacron, and BR and SBR rubber from Sinopec, heat-resisting, cold resistance, anti-corrosion, wear-resisting performance. We also make the test with Shandong University Mechanics Experiment Center, to test the ship launching airbag, our Marine rubber airbag safety rate is 4.5 times than standard. Meantime, we make the  ISO14409:2011(E) international Standard and China National Standard, that`s our strength evidence. Until now, almost of middle and small used our high bearing capacity marine airbag to launching in China, every projects finished was absolute safety under our technology direction and operation, not only reduce the most of shipping building cost for them, but also win our customers high acceptation and praise.

Our advantage:

1. High bearing capacity -- DWT 82,000T Barge, Project ship itweight:16,000T successful launching

2. High anti-knead-compressed -- Never blister delaminating

3. New Anti-bursting technology for end airbag -- Never bursting record

4. Reasonable structure layout of cord thread -- More than 500 times using

5. Long life cost, Anti-aging & wear-resisting -- 13 years still using

      Airbag Launching technology was developed based on traditional slideway launching mode, it utilizes flexible airbags to replace slideway and sliding plates, so as to overcome many shortcomings of traditional slideway launching mode. Flexible airbag is like a elastic cushion to bring the ship free 
pitching during the launch course and the pressure under hull bottom to the moderated due to larger 
flexible contact area, that protects the hull structure and surface paint against damage. CHANGLIN 
Ship Launching Marine Airbag are developed specially for Ship Launching technology, which possesses 
extremely high bearing capacity, resistant to wear and to salt water corrosion, its main function is for 
transporting ship to launch or uptrade. The applications of air bags except ship launching can widely 
use to transport large-size construction modules, to salvage sunken ships and serve as a container 
for storing liquid and gas and as a pontoon to erect floating bridges and pipelines and so on.

      The application of air bags to launch a ship is called "Flexible launching technology". The flexibility 
of airbags can launch a ship any seaside, as long as where is a level and smooth ground, that grandly 
heightens the mobility of using it. 

      Airbag launching technology was invented by Chinese in the early 80s in the 20th century. After 
more than 30 years' development and improvement, we have the capability of launching a ship up to 
100,000DWT. Its application and development is causing a revolutionary transformation on 
shipbuilding and ship-repair mode. We are making the ship launching and upgrading easy, energy 
saving and economy!
