Accidents happen where parts of a ship or cargo can end up in the sea. There is an entire industry dedicated to going underwater and cleaning up the mess.
To get everything up to the surface, you’ll need a unique solution so that you aren’t wasting time and money. Take a look into these solutions for gathering underwater salvage.
Flotation Bags
Some companies have taken the concept of a lifejacket and used it for gathering underwater salvage. They do this through flotation bags, devices that can be used to gather belongings and inflate them so that they go on the top of the water.
Pontoons
Gathering larger pieces of underwater salvage can be difficult. You have to worry about finding a way to get it up to the surface, something that’s not possible with smaller flotation bags.
For years, companies have been selling inflatable pontoons to salvage companies. These are large bags that tie to the side of a wreckage. The bonus of these is that they can be dragged all the way to shore instead of being hauled on top of a ship every time they are used.
Restrictions
Before you make your choice of pontoons or flotation bags, you’ll have to consider a few guidelines. Each product can have a limit to what can be stored.
Go through the specifications on each device you’re purchasing and look at the weight limit. For example, you want to purchase more expansive flotation bags if you’re looking to haul heavy ship parts.
