SUMMARY • The specialised reefer industry will be around for decades to come BUT: • There will be a reducing number of specialised reefer vessels • Specialised reefer vessels’ percentage market share will continue to reduce • Specialised reefer vessels’ cargo tonnage will now start to reduce • Pressure on specialised reefer rates is likely to continue to be high and can only be affected by matters outside the direct control of the specialised reefer industry itself: • Reefer container industry • Climatic conditions • Global economy • Carbon footprint
