ABSTRACT
The protection of a ship after a collision is mainly dependent by the its watertight bulkheads. A war ship Nimitz Class has 300 meters length and a full-load weight of 100,000 tons supported by 100 watertight bulkheads. With this patent one of the bulkheads is filled with hundreds of big balloons. In any collision the most of these will remain untouchable due elasticity and number. The patent uses huge balloons attached to the hull of any ship. In case of an accident the balloon offers enough buoyance to keep the vessel floated. The balloons are serviced through an air compressor system and monitoring through various sensors. The unsinkable vessel offers increased sustainability on water eco-systems. The main invention advantage is not sustainability but the improved insurance options minimizing the premium and compensation.
