How the Ship Launching ?

Launching of ships is one of the most important procedures of the entire ship construction process. The ship launching slipway, a structure consisting of a sloping way down to the water from the shipyard, is an essential aspect of the ship launching procedure and has been extensively used for launching newly made or repaired ships.
Traditionally, ship launching in the water is done using four main types of methods. These methods are:
1.Gravitational type launching
2.Floating-out type launching
3. Mechanical Type launching
3. Airbag launching
Side Oiled Slideway Launching
he side oiled slideway launching system is also one of the most widely used ship launching systems. This type of system is mainly of two types.
n the first type, the slideway extends into the water and the ship slides into the water using the slideway. In the second method the slideway doesn’t go until the water and the ship along with the frame slides into the water. The ship then becomes steady based on its own buoyancy and stability factors. Such launching requires the ship to have great stability and strength.
