Rescue Grounded Barges by Evergreen Air-bags

Under the help of Evergreen Airbags, our clients from U.S.A rescued the grounded barges successfully on Oct.17,2008. During this project, Evergreen Airbags play a key role for the roll and refloatation. 

The barges were being towed via tug when the effects of Hurricane Omar caused them to break away and run aground.
