Ship Cocoons
Rubb Ship Cocoons are often used to protect military cargo, but have commercial applications as well.
Generally, a large ship cocoon consists of many individual enclosures. The individual ship cocoon sections are provided with a wheeled track system that rides upon standard railroad type rails that are secured to longitudinal tubes fitted on the port and starboard container posts. This allows for each ship cocoon section to be "telescoped" together to allow for access to stored cargo and efficient loading and off loading.
Sealed and insulated from the marine environment, the Rubb ship cocoon system allows the interior humidity and temperature to be regulated.
Protecting cargo while at sea takes a rugged structure. Rubb ship cocoons are built using a hot-dipped galvanized, wide flange beam, framework that is clad with 28 ounce and 32 ounce, per square yard, PVC coated architectural membrane panels. The system is designed to withstand 100mph [160kph] wind speeds acting in combination with the multi-directional shear and compressive forces associated with heavy seagoing conditions.
