At Zhonghaihang Shipping Supply, we lead in the maritime field with advanced marine gear. This includes pneumatic fenders and marine airbags. Ship launching airbags, also known as inflatable marine airbags or launching air balloons.
They are made for launching ships of all sizes, from small boats to large ships up to 100,000 DWT. Our launching technology has changed how ships are launched. It makes the process more efficient, cost-effective, and safe. Ship launching airbags are now widely used by shipyards around the world.
Understanding Ship Launching Airbags
Airbags in ship launching are widely accepted globally. They save time, money, and are safer. This technology is becoming more popular in shipyards worldwide.
What Are Ship Launching Airbags?
Ship launching airbags are inflatable devices for launching ships. They offer a safe, efficient, and cost-effective way to launch ships.
Evolution of Ship Launching Technology
We’ve always been innovating in design, materials, and manufacturing. This ensures our airbags are flexible, safe, and reliable. This evolution has made airbag launching a preferred method for many shipyards.
Advantages Over Traditional Launching Methods
Ship launching airbags have many benefits. They save a lot of money and time. In addition, they are flexible and safe, and they’re better for the environment.
They compare traditional methods to airbag systems. Airbags save a lot of money. They are faster to prepare and launch. They are flexible for different ship sizes and shapes. In addition, they are safer for people and ships. They are better for the environment.
Construction and Technical Specifications of Ship Launching Airbags
Knowing how ship launching airbags are made is important for their safe use. We’ll look at their materials, types, and standards.
Material Composition and Layers
Ship launching airbags have multiple layers. Each layer has a specific role. They include synthetic-tire-cord layers and inner and outer rubber layers.
- Synthetic-Tire-Cord Layers: The synthetic-tire-cord layers give the airbag strength and durability. They are key to the airbag’s structure.
- Inner and Outer Rubber Layers: The inner and outer rubber layers keep the airbag gas-tight and resistant to wear. They work with the synthetic-tire-cord layers for a reliable airbag.
Classification and Types of Ship Launching Airbags
Ship launching airbags are sorted by size, material, and use. Different airbags fit different ship sizes and launching needs.
ISO14409 Standards and Compliance
Our airbags meet ISO 14409:2011 standards for ship launching. This international standard sets the rules for design, materials, and testing.
We follow strict tests to ensure our airbags are reliable and safe. This includes tests for gas-tightness, compression, and bursting.
How Ship Launching Airbags Work
Marine airbags are changing the ship launching process. They make it more adaptable and cost-effective. This technology has overcome old launching method limits, offering a flexible solution for shipyards.
Launching Process Using Airbags
The launching process with airbags starts by placing the vessel on the airbags. Then, the airbags are deflated slowly to help the vessel move. This method works for both launching at the end and on the side.
Bearing Capacity and Pressure Calculations
The strength of the ship launching airbags is key. It depends on the airbag’s material, size, and how much air it holds. Getting the pressure right is important for a safe and smooth launch.
End Launching vs. Side Launching Techniques
End launching places the vessel lengthwise in the water, using airbags in parallel. Side launching moves the vessel sideways, using airbags at right angles. The choice depends on the shipyard, the vessel’s design, and the space available.
Knowing these techniques helps shipyards improve their launch process. Zhonghaihang Shipping Supply’s airbag systems support both end and side launching. This makes them flexible and reliable.
