Application of Ship Launching Airbags

Marine airbags are widely used in the shipbuilding industry. The following are several main application scenarios:

1. Ship launching

Principle: By placing multiple inflatable airbags under the hull, the contact area between the hull and the ground is gradually reduced, so that the hull floats and slides into the water.

Advantages: Compared with the traditional slide launching method, the use of airbags can reduce friction and damage to the hull, and the operation is simpler and more flexible.

2. Ship upper row

Principle: Arrange airbags under the hull, and gradually inflate the hull to gradually lift it up and leave the water surface, and finally park it steadily on land.

Advantages: The airbag upper row method avoids direct contact between the hull and the ground, reduces damage to the hull, and is safer during operation.

3. Ship displacement

Principle: Place airbags under the hull, and inflate and roll the airbags to move the hull smoothly to the predetermined position.

Advantages: Compared with the use of large lifting equipment, the airbag displacement method is more economical and flexible, especially suitable for sites with limited space.

4. Carrying of other heavy objects

Principle: Using the high buoyancy and strong support of the airbag, various large heavy objects, such as large equipment, steel structures, etc., can be carried.

Advantages: The airbag carrying method can adapt to various complex terrains and operating environments, reducing pressure and damage to the ground.
