How NANHAI Lifts Sunken Vessels Using Marine Salvage Airbags

Lifting a sunken vessel requires careful planning and execution. At NANHAI, we specialize in marine спасение operations, and one of our most effective methods involves using marine запасные подушки безопасности. These inflatable buoyancy units, also known as pontoon подушки безопасности or heavy-duty lifting bags, provide significant lifting power and flexibility for various спасение scenarios. Our rugged salvage bladders are engineered to fully comply with ISO 14409 standards to provide reliability in demanding underwater environments.

Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide on how NANHAI lifts sunken vessels using marine запасные подушки безопасности:

Step 1: Pre-Salvage Assessment and Planning

Before any physical work begins, a thorough assessment is crucial for a successful salvage operation.

1. Site Survey and Damage Assessment: Our team first conducts a comprehensive survey of the sunken vessel and its surrounding environment. This includes:
   • Determining the vessel’s exact location, depth, and orientation on the seabed.
   • Assessing the extent of damage to the hull and superstructure.
   • Analyzing the seabed conditions (e.g., mud, sand, rock) and potential obstructions.
   • Evaluating tidal patterns, currents, and weather forecasts for the duration of the спасение.
2. Salvage Plan Development: Based on the assessment, NANHAI’s engineers develop a detailed спасение plan. This plan outlines:
   • The type, size, and number of marine запасные подушки безопасности required. We select the appropriate lifting bags based on the vessel’s weight and configuration.
   • The optimal placement of the подушки безопасности is to achieve a stable and controlled lift.
   • Calculation of the required buoyancy to overcome the vessel’s submerged weight and any additional resistance (e.g., suction from the seabed). Our inflatable buoyancy units are designed to provide precise lift.
   • Selection of appropriate lifting equipment (e.g., winches, cranes) if needed in conjunction with the подушки безопасности.
   • Safety protocols and emergency procedures for the спасение effort.
   • Environmental considerations and measures to prevent pollution during the спасение.

Step 2: Site Preparation and Divers’ Work

Once the plan is finalized, our dive teams prepare the vessel and the site for the спасение.

1. Establishing a Work Platform: If necessary, a work platform or спасение barge is positioned near the sunken vessel to serve as a base for operations, holding equipment, and providing support for divers.
2. Debris Clearance: Divers clear any debris around or on the vessel that could hinder подушка безопасности placement or snag during the lift.
3. Vessel Inspection and Securing Points: Divers conduct a close-up inspection of the vessel’s hull to identify suitable attachment points for the запасные подушки безопасности. These points must be structurally sound to withstand the immense lifting forces generated by the подушки безопасности. Reinforcements may be added if necessary.
4. Rigging and Attachment: Our divers meticulously rig the marine запасные подушки безопасности to the designated attachment points on the vessel. This involves:
   • Passing strong straps or chains through the integrated D-rings or slings on the подушки безопасности.
   • Securing these straps or chains to strong points on the vessel, such as bollards, cleats, or specially prepared padeyes. The method of attachment is critical to ensure the inflatable buoyancy units remain securely in place during inflation and the lift.

Step 3: Salvage Airbag Inflation and Controlled Lift

This is the core phase of the salvage operation, requiring precise control over the подушки безопасности.

1. Air Supply Connection: Air hoses from high-pressure compressors on the surface (either on a спасение vessel or shore-based) are connected to the inflation valves of the marine запасные подушки безопасности.
2. Controlled Inflation: Air is slowly and incrementally introduced into the подушки безопасности. This process is carefully monitored by NANHAI’s спасение masters, who receive real-time data from pressure gauges and depth sensors.
   • Even Buoyancy Distribution: Inflation is typically done in stages, often inflating multiple lifting bags simultaneously to ensure an even distribution of buoyancy and prevent uncontrolled tilting or capsizing of the vessel.
   • Monitoring and Adjustment: Divers continuously monitor the подушки безопасности‘ performance and the vessel’s movement, making adjustments as needed. This often involves fine-tuning the air pressure in individual запасные подушки безопасности to maintain stability and control the vessel’s ascent rate.
3. Gradual Ascent: As the inflatable buoyancy units fill with air, they displace water, generating upward force. The vessel gradually becomes buoyant and begins to lift off the seabed. The rate of ascent is controlled to prevent sudden movements that could cause further damage to the vessel or equipment during this critical спасение phase.
4. Surface Ballasting (if needed): Once the vessel approaches the surface, NANHAI may partially de-ballast internal tanks on the sunken vessel to assist in stability and control the final emergence, supported by the запасные подушки безопасности.

Step 4: Towing and Recovery

After the vessel is successfully refloated, the final steps involve securing and recovering it.

1. Stabilization: Once on the surface, the vessel is stabilized, often by adjusting the air in the подушки безопасности or by pumping out any remaining water from accessible compartments.
2. Towing: The refloated vessel, often still supported by the запасные подушки безопасности, is then carefully towed to a safe harbor, dry dock, or designated repair facility. The inflatable buoyancy units may remain attached to provide continued buoyancy and stability during transit.
3. Deflation and Removal: Once the vessel is secured at its destination, the marine запасные подушки безопасности are deflated and carefully removed, cleaned, inspected, and prepared for future спасение use.

NANHAI’s expertise in using marine запасные подушки безопасности allows us to conduct efficient, safe, and environmentally responsible salvage operations, minimizing further damage to the sunken vessel and ensuring its successful recovery. Our подушки безопасности are a vital tool in complex underwater спасение projects.
