Description

The Hongruntong Marine Air Bag is an advanced inflatable launching and lifting solution designed for modern shipyards, offshore engineering projects, and heavy-load industrial transport. Engineered with multiple layers of high-strength synthetic fibers embedded within elastic rubber matrices, these air bags provide uniform load distribution and controlled deformation under dynamic and static loads. Unlike rigid rollers or dry dock systems, marine air bags offer flexibility to accommodate irregular hull shapes, uneven ground surfaces, and tidal or water-level variations. Their robust outer layer ensures resistance to abrasion, seawater corrosion, and UV damage, while internal cord reinforcements deliver exceptional tensile and shear strength. The combination of high load capacity, ease of deployment, and minimal infrastructure requirements makes Hongruntong air bags ideal for ship launching, vessel hauling, heavy module lifting, and underwater buoyancy applications. These bags are designed and tested in accordance with ISO 14409, ensuring predictable performance, durability, and operational safety in demanding environments.

Case Study

In 2023, a European shipyard tasked with relocating a 2,500-ton ferry for maintenance operations employed Hongruntong Marine Air Bags to execute a rolling haul from a concrete berth to a nearby floating dock. The shipyard faced tight space constraints and a slight gradient along the path. Twelve 1.5-meter-diameter × 15-meter-long air bags were deployed under the vessel’s hull, forming a load-sharing matrix designed to evenly distribute weight and prevent stress concentrations. Each air bag was inflated to a carefully calculated pressure, and the vessel’s forward movement was guided by synchronized winches. The air bags rotated smoothly under compression, compensating for minor surface irregularities and maintaining consistent hull elevation. The operation was completed in a single day with zero hull damage, showcasing the reliability of air-bag-based rolling systems for mid-sized vessels and proving the technique as a cost-effective alternative to traditional dry-docking and slipway methods.
