The winch slowly releases the rope, allowing the ship to slide downward gradually. During this process, it is essential to monitor whether the ship is deviating from its intended path and make timely adjustments if necessary. Simultaneously, the balance of the ship should be checked. If any tilting is observed, the pressure in individual airbags can be adjusted to correct it.
1) The winch slowly releases the rope, allowing the ship to slide downward gradually. During this process, it is essential to monitor whether the ship is deviating from its intended path and make timely adjustments if necessary. Simultaneously, the balance of the ship should be checked. If any tilting is observed, the pressure in individual airbags can be adjusted to correct it.
2) As the ship slides down, check whether the stern mooring rope is tightened. Mooring workers should release the rope in a timely manner to ensure it does not exceed its tensile limit while keeping it in a tightened state. At the same time, the towline should be retracted but not tightened.
3) When the stern moves over the receiving airbag, the inflation operator should promptly inflate the receiving airbag. Meanwhile, the deflation operator should deflate the last airbag in advance. Throughout this process, the safety officer should monitor whether the lifting height of the airbags is too low. If any issues are detected, the moving process should be halted immediately, and the pressure in individual airbags should be adjusted.
4) Once the ship has been moved to the predetermined position, the winch should stop releasing the rope. At this stage, check the balance of the ship, ensure the mooring ropes are tightened, verify the air pressure in the airbags and their lifting height, and inspect the condition of the wire ropes, pulley blocks, shackles, rope clamps, and inflation hoses to ensure they are functioning properly.

The application of marine airbags in the field of ship engineering can be traced back to January 20, 1981. The successful launching of a ship using airbags marked the beginning of an innovative launching method. With technological advancements over the past four decades, the development of airbag technology has evolved to the use of impregnated cord fabric in a fully wrapped design.
