Reefers for Hire

On the 31st July 2017 the "Swedish Reefer" (1992, 13,930DWT) arrives in the River Fal for lay-up assisted by the local tug "St.Piran" (1979). The "Sweedish Reefer" arrived from St.Petersburg to join sister vessels "Hellas Reefer" (1991, 13,930DWT) and "Nederland Reefer" (1991, 13,958DWT).

 

 

The sight of elderly reefers being laid up in the River Fal, Cornwall during the Southern Hemisphere winter is becoming common but time is running out for these ships as container vessels carry more of the chilled food.
