The invention relates to a process for shipping and launching a wharfboat which is carried by an airbag row. The launching process is a method adopting a water tractor tug for traction, a land post-tensioning device for protection, a land small-diameter airbag for floating support and displacement, and a water large-diameter airbag row for carrying. By adopting the process for launching the wharfboat, ships can be manufactured at a place close to a wharf or far away from the wharf, the construction time limit, the quality and the security can be ensured easily, and a light-tonnage hoisting apparatus can be used, and thus the ships can be moved to the wharf by a small-diameter airbag row and then carried into water by the large-diameter airbag row. The amount of corresponding airbags (land and water) according to the tonnages of the ships, the airbags can be reused, the investment is small, and compared with the prior shipbuilding and dock building cost that is hundreds of thousands yuan even several hundreds of thousands yuan, the cost by making use of the airbag for launching is only tens of thousands yuan, and thus the launching process does not use large hoisting apparatuses, is safe and reliable, is simple, convenient and practicable, and has low cost.
