Floating marine rubber airbag for ship launching, also known as roller bags or ship launching balloons, are made of heavy-duty synthetic-tire-cord layers with inner and out rubber layers in a long cylindrical balloon shape. Ship launching airbags can be used for the ship launching or ship landing of oil tankers, tugboat or vessels, barges, chemical tankers, tugboats, AHTS vessels, floating docks, and even construction caissons have all been launched using our ship launching rubber airbags. The biggest vessel launched by ship launching airbags up to 100,000DWT.
ship launching relying on ship launching airbags is an innovative ship launching technology, comparing with “end-on launching”, “side ship launching”, “float-out”. This ship launching technology overcomes the restrictions of fixed launching track of side-launch. Ship launching airbags are accepted by more shipyards worldwide because of their advantages of saving time, saving investment, flexibility, safety.
All Doowin Marine ship launching airbags are manufactured and tested fully compliant with ISO 14409:2011 Ships and marine technology — Ship launching airbags. To learn more technology, please kindly refer ISO 17682:2013 Ships and marine technology — Methodology for ship launching utilizing airbags
