Refrigerated Maritime Freight
Carriage of freight in refrigerated containers by water, predominantly deep-sea. Unlike a road reefer, the container has no engine: it plugs into the vessel’s electrical supply, so its cooling energy is already inside the bunker fuel and only the refrigerant charge is a separate source.
Also known as: Reefer Container Shipping, Refrigerated Shipping
