Ship launching
air-bags are also known as inflatable marine airbags, roller bags,
air lift bags, and salvage bags. Airbags range in size from 0.8 to
2.5m diameter, with lengths of 5.0m to *4.0m 'effective length'.
Airbags are used for ship launching, haulouts, loading, and
floating. They are widely used in cargo boat launching and landing,
lifting and moving sunken ships, and salvaging stranded boats. Air
bags have the benefit of not only saving labor and time, but
investment costs. Additionally they are flexible, portable, and
dependable.
