Abstract

Inflatable tank for rescue of ships, is essentially characterized as a folding tank, made of a special material suitable, resistant to water, be inflatable, be provided with one or more cylinders of compressed air at high pressure and in dimensions required by the circumstances. This or these inflatable tanks, in a folded state, are placed in previously studied sites inside a vessel, a container or an airplane (in this last one also with the possibility of expanding towards the exterior) and when there is a water connection, an embarrassment or an accident that can cause the flood and/or subsidence of the vessel, container or the respective aircraft, the inflatable tank "a" in, folded state is transformed into the inflated tank "b". Due to this circumstance, and given the previously calculated pressure of the already inflated tank, the water that enters the floating body is evacuated and thus, until first aid is reached, the sinking of the floating body and the loss of lives are avoided.
