The present invention concerns an inflatable salvage bag (1), for reducing fluid flow through a hole in the hull structure of a marine vessel or in a storage tank. The inflatable salvage bag (1) includes an inner bag (9), wherein the inner bag (9) is inflatable, a reinforcing bag (10), wherein the reinforcing bag (10) surrounds the inner bag (9) and is configured to be tear and puncture resistant and an outer bag (2), wherein the outer bag (2) surrounds the reinforcing bag (10). The inflatable salvage bag (1) further includes a valve (5), configured to connect the inner bag (9) with an external source of pressurized gas, in order to inflate the inflatable salvage bag (1).

A nonlimiting example of a yacht preserver includes a handle, an inflator device connected to an upper end of the handle and an inflatable bladder connected to a lower end of the handle. In this nonlimiting example, the inflator device includes a gas canister that is connected to the inflatable bladder by a tube and is configured to deliver gas to inflate the bladder upon activation. The yacht preserver may be used to seal an opening of a yacht by placing the uninflated bladder near the opening in the yacht and activating the inflator device allowing the bladder to expand to seal the opening.

An anti-sinking and anti-fire safety system for boats includes inflatable devices, is installed in a first deflated configuration and assumes a second irreversibly inflated configuration, with a volume considerably greater than the first deflated configuration. Each inflatable device is connected to at least one dispenser expanding a predetermined quantity of non-inflammable foam within the corresponding inflatable device to assume the desired volume in the second inflated configuration. Each dispenser is connected to an activator to activate the corresponding dispenser by remote control of the user, sent by a control system. The emergency system also includes dispensers, connected to the activator expanding non-inflammable foam between the free spaces present between the inflatable devices already inflated, and in any other fire risk space. The non-inflammable foam sublimates after a known time. The control system includes a processor and a communication interface.

Disclosed are a self-righting unmanned ship suitable for adverse sea conditions and a self-righting working mode thereof, belonging to the field of unmanned ship equipment and techniques. The unmanned ship comprises a main hull, a self-righting deck, an equipment and pipeline mast, a propeller, a radar, an air inlet and exhaust system, and a main engine system. Through the design of a watertight deck, the hull of the unmanned ship has a self-righting function, avoiding the possibility of the unmanned ship itself turning over, without installing additional self-righting equipment. Meanwhile, the internal structure and the self-righting working mode of the unmanned ship make it possible for the hull to automatically turn off the main engine and the air inlet and exhaust system when the heeling angle of the hull exceeds a certain angle, making the whole ship watertight.

An apparatus for repairing an impact damage on a hull includes a body having a through hole along a center axis thereof, an anchor unit provided on one side of the body and configured to be inserted into the hull through the impact damage and to be hooked on an inner wall of the hull, and an elastic member inserted into the through hole and having a first side fixed to the anchor unit and a second side fixed to the body.

A watercraft comprising a hull, and a polymer layer disposed over an inner side of the hull. The polymer layer has a thickness of between 1 to 5 millimeters, and an elasticity of between 100% and 1200% elongation. The watercraft comprises the hull and the polymer layer, where the interface layer adheres the polymer layer to the inner side of the hull at an adhesion strength of between 0.5 to 1.2 mega-Pascal (MPa).

A nonlimiting example of a yacht preserver includes a handle, a container at an end of the handle, and an inflator device connected to an inflatable bladder. In this nonlimiting example, the inflator device includes a gas canister that is configured to deliver gas to inflate the bladder upon activation. The yacht preserver may be used to seal an opening of a yacht by placing the uninflated bladder near the opening in the yacht and activating the inflator device allowing the bladder to expand to seal the opening.
