How does the Cocoon mothballing system work?

How we keep your LNG spare parts in active status up to 50 years

What makes our solution unique?

How we store your large LNG spare parts succesfully
The coating is a high-quality, sprayable synthetic material that is also maintenance-free. This product can be connected to electric cables, data cables, air ducts and other materials.

We also dismantle individual parts of a spare part (example: cooler unit of a turbo generator)

Your stock management is our core business. We can see exactly which parts have been moved/dismantled and when. We also arrange all customs-related matters for you.

Large parts such as cranes, to move the spare parts from storage location to shipyard / maintenance yard, are transported by us within a week

Can withstand temperatures from -35°C – +72°

System is weather resistant. 200% elastic. Airtight. Jointless with a very long lifespan

Very efficient and cost saving solution on the long term

“We are a company located in Hoofddorp, a town nearby Amsterdam airport. We also have our dedicated storage facilities in Drachten (the north of The Netherlands) and Bintan (south-east Asia),  where we store spare parts of LNG carriers”. Alexander van der Zee, owner of Cocoon (since 2002), has established roots in the painting industry. His grandfather had a paint factory where his father also worked in and so became quite familiar with the production and application of paint-related products from a young age. When the opportunity came to offer cocoon products, he seized that chance to further develop new applications for the technology.
