REEFER SHIPS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

A research and development project by a largely-Scandinavian consortium has studies the future needs of the refrigerated cargo ship trades, especially with respect to an ageing fleet and the requirement for more environment friendly equipment. The features of the new-generation reefer ship conceived include a slim bow, twin screws, elevator housings with cranes on top, and a narrow superstructure two-thirds aft.
