French term or phrase: bateaux congélateurs
Hello :)

I thought this was obvious "freezer boats" but could not find any entries on google, here is my sentence:

"Les produits congelés constituent notre principale activité assurée par notre unité de transformation et de congélation. Nous avons également à notre actif une cinquantaine de bateaux congélateurs traitant à leur bord plusieurs variétés de céphalopodes et de crustacés."

Thanks!
