Ship launching airbags are an innovative technology widely used in the maritime industry. They were first invented by Chinese engineers in the early 1980s along the Xiaoqing River in Jinan to assist with ship launching.

Ship launching airbags come in many sizes, with diameters ranging from 300 mm to 4000 mm and lengths typically between 3000 mm and 33,000 mm. They fit a wide range of vessels and help shipyards avoid the limits of fixed launching tracks. This flexible technology saves time and money, especially for small and medium-sized shipyards.

Shipyards trust this method because it’s safe, reliable, and a smart investment. It’s not only used for launching and hauling ships but also in many other marine operations.

As one of the world’s leading suppliers of ship launching airbags, Nanhai continues to improve the technology. Today, NANHAI marine airbags are used in even more ways, helping shipyards handle a variety of marine tasks more efficiently.
