Hmmmm. Does'nt look like there's much newbuilding in that list. Sad, really, reefer was my interest as a young lad (ex Blue Star Line ashore in Cape Town...)

 >:(
Last reefer built ATLANTIC KLIPPER 2011 for Seatrade  although Kyokuyo did have a couple of options I haven't been able to find out if they were actually built. There is a bit of a swan song for reefers at present due to slow steaming by box boats. Fruit shippers need fast transit times.

Tony and Nigel, thank you for sharing this information. It is very interesting and helpful. Does anyone know if similar information is available for car carriers?

Best regards Goran

Thanks for the interesting list, but it seems like ISLEMAN Imo: 8814902 are missing.

Brgds,

Hi Geir,

The list contains ships exceeding 200,000 cubic feet refrigerated space. Ships of less than this are generally not reefers but freezers (fish carriers) & unable to carry fruit products whereas reefers can carry anything between -20 & +15C. Known reefers of less than 200,000 cuft are included in the list.

ISLEMAN (YURUSHIMA MARU) is a freezer of 197,056 cuft & is designed for transhipping at sea; note the Yokohama fender on deck.

I do have records of nearly all ships less than 200,000 cuft down to 50,000 cuft & can generally answer any questions about them should you require.

Regards,
Tony

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the explanation, I saw MERRY FISHER and MAGELLANIC at a distance side by side in Sriracha and thought they were sisters but I see now that MERRY FISHER are a little bit bigger, I cant find out were she is at the moment, do you have any idea ?

Brgds,
Geir

Hi Geir,

Sorry on that one; last position I could get was in 2012! That particular ship could be a freezer or a reefer. In either case it seems that she was rigged for fish loading as in your photo she has the Yokohama fenders in the water for trawlers to come alongside.
