Project Overview:
A JUMBO RECOVERY
Company Limited
A Boeing 747-400 Jumbo-jet crashed in bad weather whilst trying to land at Hong Kongs international
airport. Miraculously, there were no fatalities nor any serious injuries when the aircraft overshot the
runway and ploughed into the harbour waters. The subsequent salvage operation, unprecedented in
aviation history, became a race against time. This was mainly because the position of the ditched aircraft
was preventing operations on one runway and restricting those on another.

The plane had come to rest in shallow water with the vertical tail fin obstructing the flightpath. This was
removed by The Royal Hong Kong Police using explosives. The fuselage was patched and pumped out
prior to being towed to a specially laid mooring. Seaflex air lift bags were used for the re-floating, tow
and mooring of the aircraft.
Despatch Note
Seaflex received the order at 1535hrs and by 1930hrs
that evening, 304 tonnes of fully enclosed lift, packed
on air-freight pallets, had left our factory bound for
Heathrow Airport.
Our thanks to Alan Lloynd, Fleet Manager, Hong Kong Salvage & Towage Co. Ltd. for
operational details and photographs.

Project Overview:
Bremerhaven Lock gates
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The port of Bremerhaven, Germany required new
lock gates after a ship collided with the previous set
rendering them inoperable. Hochtief Construction
were awarded the contract to build and install three
new gates, two as replacements and a spare should
one be accidentally damaged again.
The gates were constructed in Gdansk, Poland by
Crist Spolka and shipped aboard a semi submersible
barge to be offloaded at Bremerhaven by Hochtief
Construction.
The gates were shipped on their side and upon
arrival, the barge was submerged to offload the
gates in the horizontal position minimising overall
draft.

Project Overview:
Mexilhao Project Brazil
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Petrobras is presently carrying out a project to develop the gas reserves of the
Mexilho field in the Santos Basin in Brazil. The field lies off the coast of Sao Paulo,
approximately 160km offshore and in water depths of between 320m and 550m.
Acergy was awarded the Mexilho gas export trunkline contract which covered the
installation of 120km of 34 diameter pipeline from the fixed platform to shore.
SEAFLEX INVOLVMENT
Seaflex were approached in May 2007 to supply for rental 2t Inflatable Buoyancy in pairs to assist the shore pull in
extremely shallow water depth due to an 800m wide sand bar. The total length of the shore pull was over 2km.
The sand bar proved more of an obstacle than expected and as a result Seaflex were asked to supply additional buoyancy to:
a) increase the lift per meter to the pipeline reducing its overall draft and
b) assist the float out of the two 76mm pulling wires.

Product Overview:
SEASERPENT CABLE FLOTATION
Supplied in lay flat form on a transport, deployment, recovery (TDR) drum the
tube is inflated as it unwinds and is attached to the cable just before the launch
point. This allows rapid and near continuous deployment.
When the correct length of cable is afloat and positioned accurately on its line, the
air is vented from one end of the tube allowing the cable to sink progressively into
the desired position. This sinking process is under complete control and may be
slowed, stopped or reversed at will.
Seaflex can manufacture SeaSerpent for individual buoyancy requirements although most cable weights
are applicable to Seaflexs Standard Range. The table shows Standard Range SeaSerpent specifications.
SeaSerpent and ancillary transport, deployment and recovery systems are available for hire or purchase.
