Fridge trailer loads

English translation: loads carried/conveyed in refrigerated/reefer trailers

English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Law/Patents - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / Haulage sub-contracting agreement

English term or phrase: Fridge trailer loads

****Fridge trailer loads*** must not be removed from the port until the day of delivery, unless authorised by the Traffic Department. Under no circumstances may such trailers be removed from the port and parked unattended, awaiting an ‘early start’.

This is a clause from an haulage sub-contracting agreement.

Is a fridge trailer a refrigerated trailer? Do they refer to the trailer or to the goods (loads)?

Thank you

They are referring to the loads (contents) of the trailer - the part of the truck behind the first "car" where the truck driver operates from.

fridge trailer loads refrigerated trailer load

Explanation:
Yes, it may be a truck and/or trailer which is refrigerated, pulled either by a car, as below:
http://www.bockmann.co.uk/pdf/refridgeration.pdf

or a truck:

The information in your original text is to prevent the movement of the trailers/trucks to some advantageous position when coming into another country or port, I suspect.

NOTE: "refrigerator" is WITHOUT a "d";
the abbreviated form, "fridge", DOES HAVE a "d"!

Sorry, to the second part of your question, it refers to the "load on the boat/ferry" which comprises the fridge truck.
