LUHANG Marine Airbags Successfully Applied in Vessel Salvage Project

Qingdao, China – Project News

Recently, LUHANG marine rubber airbags were successfully used in a vessel salvage operation carried out by an overseas marine engineering company, demonstrating their reliability and performance in real salvage conditions.

Project Background

The project involved the recovery of a partially sunken working vessel located in a coastal area with limited access for large lifting equipment.
Due to the site conditions and budget constraints, traditional crane lifting was not a practical solution. The client decided to adopt a marine airbag–assisted salvage method to refloat and recover the vessel safely.

After technical evaluation, the client selected LUHANG Marine Rubber Airbags as the main buoyancy and lifting solution.

Salvage Solution

According to the vessel size and estimated weight, LUHANG provided customized marine airbags with appropriate diameters, lengths, and layer configurations.

During the operation:

The airbags were positioned beneath the hull

Gradual inflation was carried out in a controlled sequence

Buoyancy was increased step by step to ensure stability

The vessel was successfully refloated and moved to a safe maintenance area

The entire operation was completed smoothly without secondary damage to the vessel structure.

Project Results

Successful refloating and recovery of the vessel

Stable lifting process with controlled buoyancy

Reduced project cost compared with crane lifting

High operational efficiency under limited site conditions

The client expressed strong satisfaction with the performance, durability, and ease of operation of LUHANG marine airbags.

Client Feedback

"LUHANG marine airbags performed reliably throughout the salvage operation.
The buoyancy control was stable, and the airbags showed excellent strength and durability.
This solution helped us complete the project safely and efficiently."
