Florescence ship rubber airbag complies with ISO 14409. Ship airbag can be used to launch and upgrade a ship up to 100,000DWT. Comparing to the traditional slipway launching method, the ship launching airbags are much environmental, because ship airbag can launch a ship at any seaside, there's no need to worry about the construction of launching facilities; besides, the marine airbags need little maintenance and can be used repeatedly.

How has the technology advanced since then?
Over the past twenty years, the airbag ship launching system has
made advancements in not only the airbag, but also the ship
launching/landing technology. The first generation airbags used a
rubber dipped canvas as a reinforcement layer to form the air
chamber trunk. Two cone-shaped molds were then used to make the
ends and everything was stuck together.
With today’s airbags, the whole-enlacing-technology used for
manufacturing is done together. Rubber dipped synthetic-tyre-cords
are used as the reinforcement layers with the trunk and two
cone-shaped ends made at the same time.Everything is then-laced
together, so the airbag doesn’t have any joints. Due to the
development of rubber chemistry, the performance of the rubber
employed in the latest airbags is highly enhanced and about 15
times that of the first generation bag with the same
specifications.
The launching and landing technology has also developed. In the
beginning, only small and flat bottom ships located on a fabricated
slope could be launched with airbags. Now this technology is more
flexible and less limited by the ship and landform. Now any type of
ship with a DWT below 55,000 and in a place with enough launching
space can be launched using airbags. The launching slope even can
be sloped upward. It has really developed into a cutting edge
technology for launching ships, and especially useful for some
marine emergencies.
