Apparatus for the emergency plugging of a puncture in a marine vessel

The present invention relates to an apparatus for the emergency plugging of a puncture in a marine vessel, and more particularly, to an apparatus (1) for the emergency plugging of a puncture in a marine vessel which is attached by magnetic force. The apparatus (1) for the emergency plugging of a puncture in a marine vessel includes: a base plate (2), the size of which is sufficient for covering a puncture (21), and which has a drain hole (3) in communication with the puncture (21) and which includes a valve (4) controlled by a reversible motor for said valve that is fluidically and electrically connected to a controller at the front side of the drain hole (3); gaskets (6) disposed in two rows around the edge of the back surface of the base plate (2); a permanent magnet (5) disposed between the gaskets (6); and a support unit (10) disposed around the entirety of the hull (20) so as to move the base plate (2) while offset from the hull (20), or to separate the base plate (2) from the hull (20). According to the present invention, when a marine vessel is punctured due to stranding, collision, or old age, the puncture may be quickly plugged so as to minimize marine pollution due to an oil spill or the like. Also, a naval vessel damaged during battle may be immediately repaired so as to secure the naval vessel against risks such as sinking, thereby minimizing the loss of life and property.
