Reefer Plug
Category: Logistics
Also searched as: Reefer power
Definition (plain English)
An electrical connection point used to power refrigerated containers at terminals, vessels, warehouses, or yards.
Why it matters commercially
Missing plug availability can break the cold chain, create temperature excursions, and undermine shelf-life or quality claims.
Example
The forwarder confirmed reefer plug availability during port storage because customs clearance was expected to take three extra days.
Common mistake
Planning reefer storage like dry storage without checking power, monitoring, alarms, and responsibility during delays.
