Qingdao, China — Qingdao SunKai Marine Supplies Co., Ltd. , a leading Chinese manufacturer of marine airbags, is experiencing rapid growth in overseas markets as global demand for reliable and cost-effective marine launching and salvage solutions continues to rise.
Over the past year, SunKai Marine has secured multiple large-scale orders from customers across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, covering applications such as ship launching, marine salvage, and port protection systems. As a result, the company’s overseas sales increased by 45% year-on-year, with products now exported to more than 70 countries and regions worldwide.
With many years of experience in marine airbag manufacturing, SunKai Marine focuses on practical engineering and long-term reliability rather than unnecessary complexity. Its marine airbags are produced using high-strength synthetic rubber and multi-layer aramid fabric, combined with advanced vulcanization technology to ensure stable performance under demanding marine conditions.
The company’s airbags are designed to operate at working pressures above 0.4 MPa, while offering wear resistance approximately 60% higher than common industry standards. This allows them to support vessels ranging from small fishing boats to ships of up to 100,000 tons, making them suitable for a wide range of shipyards and salvage projects.
All SunKai Marine airbags are manufactured in accordance with ISO 14409 standards and have passed inspections from nine major classification societies, including CCS, BV, and DNV. With strict quality control throughout production, the product qualification rate remains above 99.8%, ensuring consistent performance even in harsh marine environments.
Recent overseas projects highlight the company’s growing international recognition:
A Southeast Asian shipbuilding group purchased 30 sets of customized ship-launching airbags for a 15,000 DWT bulk carrier. By optimizing the airbag layout and launch方案, SunKai Marine helped shorten the vessel launching cycle by 25%, significantly reducing operational costs.
In the Middle East, a marine engineering contractor ordered 20 sets of salvage airbags, which were successfully deployed in a Persian Gulf wreck-recovery operation. With a combined lifting capacity of 2,400 tons, the airbags enabled the complete recovery of a sunken vessel, earning strong client feedback.
European port operators selected inflatable fender airbags from SunKai Marine to upgrade terminal collision-protection systems, citing compliance with strict EU safety standards as a key factor in their decision.
Following initial cooperation, 68% of overseas customers placed repeat orders, with many signing long-term supply agreements.
“Our overseas clients value solutions that are reliable, easy to operate, and economical over the long term,” said a representative from SunKai Marine’s international sales team. “That is exactly where our marine airbags deliver real value.”
To support its growing international customer base, SunKai Marine has established a global after-sales service network, offering 24/7 technical support for installation, maintenance, and replacement. Service centers in Singapore, Dubai, and Rotterdam allow customer requests to be handled within 48 hours, ensuring minimal downtime for marine operations.
Driven by the recovery of the global shipbuilding industry and increased maritime infrastructure investment under the Belt and Road Initiative, demand for Chinese-manufactured marine airbags continues to grow worldwide.
SunKai Marine actively participates in international maritime exhibitions and continues to build localized sales and service teams. Looking ahead, the company plans to further improve product adaptability and explore new applications in polar operations and offshore wind energy projects, bringing dependable Chinese marine airbag technology to more global markets.
