Evergreen Maritime launched new generation marine airbags

Chinese based Evergreen Maritime is the leading manufacturer of marine airbags and ship fenders. Evergreen has been pioneering the development of marine airbags for a number of years, from material, structure to accessories.
 
Evergreen incorporated Eversafe Marine Engineering, a whollyowned subsidiary,to focus on the research and development of airbag launching/lifting technology for various industries. The company was the first to offer an integrated structure launching and heavy transfer service through a turnkey supply includes design, engineering and specialized services around the world.

Marine airbags employed for heavy lift usually have much higher pressure to offer enough lifting force compared with ship launching applications. In some heavy haul projects, such as caisson transfer to submersible barge, damage of airbags occurs to the two cones often after a circle time use. The worse is cone damage is difficult to repair due to its special structure.
 
Evergreen engineers invented a kind of alloy sheath that can be installed to airbags'cone ends for protection and fixing. " The specially designed cone sheath is not only a protection cover, it enhances the combination of each layers also that is the essential factor for airbag performance and safety. Our test results show new generation air bags' bursting pressures get 20 percent increase that means the safe coefficient is improved from five to six times." said by Peng Sui, the manager of Evergreen production.
