Salvage Floating Bags Flexible Anti Aging Corrosion Resistant Rubber
Hongruntong Marine Salvage Airbags are cylindrical underwater lifting bags designed for efficient ship salvage, heavy lifting, and port operations. Constructed from PVC Coated Polyester Fabric, they offer exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and durability, maintaining performance in saltwater and abrasive environments. Their multi-layer design ensures airtightness and reliable buoyancy, allowing precise vertical and tilt adjustments for vessels, sunken ships, or offshore structures.
In a northern European port, a 2,500-ton chemical tanker partially sank due to hull breach after a collision. Traditional cranes were unable to reach the vessel safely because of shallow water and confined port space. The salvage team deployed four Φ2.0m × 8m PVC-coated polyester airbags under the submerged sections.
The airbags were carefully positioned along the hull and gradually inflated, lifting the vessel at a controlled rate. Using tide cycles and airbag adjustments, the tanker was refloated over 48 hours without structural damage. This successful operation demonstrated how Hongruntong Marine Salvage Airbags enable safe and efficient salvage even in tight port spaces.

Note: Other sizes can be customized according to the requirements.
Made with PVC Coated Polyester Fabric, the airbags resist abrasion, corrosion, and UV degradation. This ensures long-term performance even in harsh marine environments, reducing maintenance costs.
Inflation can be finely controlled to lift vessels or heavy loads smoothly. Integrated safety valves prevent over-inflation, ensuring stability and safety during salvage operations.
Available in diameters from Φ0.8m to Φ3.0m, lengths up to 12m, enabling customized arrangements for different ship sizes and water depths.
The airbags fold for easy transport, making them ideal for emergency response teams. Rapid deployment with portable pumps reduces downtime during critical salvage missions.
