The High Cost of Traditional Slipways
Conventional methods like slipways—an inclined platform for sliding ships into water—or dry docks—a floodable basin—demand huge investments, often tens of millions. Maintenance adds to the expense, and their fixed nature limits flexibility, making it hard to handle diverse ship sizes and types.
Rubber Airbags: A Cost-Saving Innovation
Rubber airbags simplify ship launching. Placed under a vessel, they inflate to lift it and roll it into the water—no permanent infrastructure needed. Introduced in China in the 1980s, this method cuts costs dramatically. A one-time airbag purchase, reusable for 7-15 years with care, replaces multimillion-dollar slipways. Their portability also reduces land and transport expenses, letting shipyards launch anywhere.
