The cold chain is growing rapidly, being largely supported and serviced by sea transport, as is the majority of world trade. In this paper, a thorough analysis of the most popular means used to transport perishable products by sea is conducted, namely the refrigerated (reefer) containers and reefer ships, using a wide range of the available bibliography. The SWOT analysis methodology is used to compare the strengths and weaknesses of each means, as well as for the opportunities and threats they face, followed by an analysis of the trends, prospects and challenges the reefer containers will come up against in the near future.
