	Refrigerated Cargo Ships / Reefers
		Reefers are so called because they are refrigerated ships designed to carry frozen or chilled cargo, such as bananas, various types of fruit, orange concentrate, meat and fish.
		Reefer ships are effectively large refrigerators, heavily insulated and shuttered with bright metal that prevents taint and is easy to clean.
		Below the decks a reefer ship resembles a large modern warehouse, and cargo is usually carried and handled in palletized form, moved about on conveyors or by electric fork lift trucks.

		Ships are measured in terms of overall length, length along the waterline, beam (breadth) and tonnage.
		Most ships built since around 1960 have been diesel powered, or motor ships, one exception being the Queen Elizabeth 2 of 1968, which was fitted with steam turbines (although she was subsequently converted to diesel as a cost saving measure).
		A few ships have been powered by nuclear reactors, but this form of propulsion has caused concerns about safety and has only been popular in large aircraft carriers and in submarines, where the ability to run submerged for long periods has obvious benefits.

		Until the application of the steam engine to ships in the early 19th century vessels were either galleys propelled by oars or sailing ships by the wind.
		Merchant ships were always sailing vessels but long as naval warfare depended on ships closing to ram to fight hand-to-hand galleys were dominant in war because of maneuverability and speed.

	New Jersey Scuba Diver - Artifacts & Shipwrecks - Freighter
		Cars were once shipped around the world in the 'tweendecks of general cargo carriers, on portable decks slotted into the holds of bulk carriers, or even in refrigerated ships (reefers) which, with their reefer plant turned off, could usefully carry quite large numbers ion their multiple decks.
		Reefer ships have sometimes been employed to carry cars, as their multiple decks are suitable, but this is less usual with the growth in the number of specialist car carriers.
		Reefer containers are either fitted with their individual refrigeration units which can be plugged in to the ship's electrical power source, or, less usually, with apertures for ducted cold air.

		The container refrigeration units used on the Dole ships are fitted with both air-cooled and water-cooled condensers, and are connected to the freshwater cooling system by quick couplings.

	TENDING THE MILAS REEFER
		Milos Reefer, "but the weather's too damned unpredictable this time of year, and I'm not going to risk me bleedin' arse for a couple of bloody cases of Johnny Walker" (the ship's only remaining cargo.) Unfortunately, the only probable options seemed to be salvage it then or never.

		Efforts to remove the remaining oil from the ship in the summer of 1990 were abandoned because of safety concerns and the remoteness of the site.
