أكياس الإنقاذ الهوائية أثناء العمل: عملية انتشال حطام سفينة سيوول في كوريا الجنوبية

خلفية المشروع

In 2014, the tragic sinking of the Sewol ferry off the southwest coast of South Korea shocked the nation and the world. With over 300 lives lost, the incident demanded not only answers but also a technically challenging and emotionally sensitive salvage operation. The South Korean government prioritized the full recovery of the vessel to bring closure to the victims’ families and thoroughly investigate the disaster.

طلب: Marine Salvage of Sunken Ship

The recovery mission involved complex engineering, including underwater operations in strong currents and poor visibility. One critical component in this task was the use of وسائد هوائية قابلة للإنقاذ to assist in lifting and stabilizing the sunken vessel.

Our Solution: High-Buoyancy Salvage Airbags

Our company proudly supplied 12 heavy-duty salvage airbags, each capable of providing 200 tons of buoyant force. Designed for harsh marine conditions, these airbags were crucial in:

• Lifting the submerged hull in a controlled manner
• Preventing sudden shifts or collapses during the lift
• Stabilizing the wreck during towing and transport
• Reducing dependence on large crane barges and minimizing environmental disturbance
