Hongruntong Marine supplies certified salvage balloons and underwater salvage balloons for ship salvage, wreck refloating and balloon salvage operations. Request quote today.

Hongruntong Marine designs and supplies high-performance salvage balloons and underwater salvage balloons for controlled buoyancy, refloating and subsea recovery. Our ship salvage balloons are engineered for reliable lift capacity, durability and safe handling during complex balloon salvage operations. Suitable for small vessel recovery through large-scale wreck refloating, our solutions combine proven materials, tested fittings and practical deployment systems to minimize risk and project downtime.

Hongruntong manufactures IMCA D 016 Rev.2-compliant salvage balloons for submerged lifting operations. Our rigorously tested systems deliver controlled buoyancy for ship refloating, wreck removal, and offshore recovery – meeting the strictest requirements of marine contractors, navies, and salvage specialists operating in extreme environments.

Key Features & Benefits

• Precision Buoyancy Control — Graduated inflation systems and pressure-relief valves enable smooth, controllable lift during a balloon salvage operation.

• Robust Construction — Multi-layer coated fabrics and reinforced seams resist abrasion, puncture and saltwater aging for long service life.

• Wide Capacity Range — Models from small boat lift sizes up to heavy-duty ship salvage balloons for large-displacement recovery.

• Diver-Friendly Design — Low-profile inlet valves, clear marking and easy rigging make underwater deployment safe and efficient.

• Rapid Deployment — Compact stowage and quick-inflate valves reduce mobilization time for emergency salvage response.

• Reusability & Cost Efficiency — Durable build and repairable components lower lifecycle cost compared to one-off methods.

FAQ

Q1: What information do you need to quote a salvage balloon solution?
A1: Provide vessel displacement (weight), hull geometry, water depth, seabed conditions and desired lift schedule. We will model lift capacity and layout for a safe balloon salvage operation.

Q2: Can underwater salvage balloons be reused?
A2: Yes — with proper inspection and maintenance, our underwater salvage balloons are reusable across multiple projects.

Q3: Do you offer rental of salvage balloons?
A3: Yes. We provide both salvage balloons for sale and rental options for short-term or emergency response needs.

Q4: How are balloons rigged for ship salvage?
A4: Balloons are typically rigged with bridles and spreader beams (as required) to distribute loads. Hongruntong Marine supplies recommended rigging and can provide lift-planning support.

Q5: Are your ship salvage balloons certified?
A5: All units are supplied with factory test reports; optional third-party inspection and certification can be arranged for tendered or regulated projects.
