NO This brief outlines refrigeration applications that maintain the cold chain on fishing vessels from catch to unloading and processing. It describes current refrigeration technologies, vessel requirements, and the continued dominance of hydrochlorofluorocarbon-22 despite its phase-out under the Montreal Protocol and Kigali Amendment. The brief examines lower global warming potential alternatives for new systems while highlighting the technical and servicing challenges of replacing existing hydrochlorofluorocarbon-22 systems, particularly large flooded installations.
