The Offshore Challenge: Fresh Meals in Remote Waters

Operating over 12,000 ocean rigs globally, the oil and gas industry faces a significant challenge: delivering fresh, nutritious meals to crews stationed miles from land. Frequent food deliveries—every 2-3 days—are necessary to keep perishable goods available, but this comes at a high cost:

- Exorbitant Expenses: Each delivery trip averages $10,000, depending on the distance from shore, significantly inflating operational budgets.

- Limited Diet Variety: The short shelf-life of produce restricts meal options, affecting crew morale and health.

- Environmental Impact: Frequent transportation leads to increased CO2 emissions, contributing to climate change.

Cool Innovation: A Game-Changer for Offshore Dining

Cool Innovation offers a cutting-edge solution with its advanced refrigeration technology that preserves the freshness of common vegetables, fruits, and even seafood for unprecedented periods. By equipping ocean rigs with 1-2 of our 20-foot refrigerated containers, food providers and galley operations can transform the food supply chain and dining experience on board.

Unmatched Freshness Preservation

Our technology has demonstrated remarkable results with produce commonly used in offshore rig meals:

- Green Lettuce: Stays fresh for 45 days. Even after 30 days, it maintains supermarket-level freshness, ensuring crisp salads and garnishes.

- Tomatoes: No change in appearance or taste after 20 days. Firmness remains consistent, providing fresh ingredients for sandwiches and sauces.

- Spinach: Minimal difference in appearance after 30 days, with only 0.2% weight loss. Ideal for nutritious side dishes and salads.

- Asparagus: Maintained fresh condition after 25 days. No significant changes in taste or aroma, perfect for grilled or steamed dishes.

- Red Sea Bream: Freshness preserved for 7 days, ensuring high-quality seafood options.
