Between January 2020 and April 2026, the Canarian Reefer had at least 402 likely transshipment meetings. Its most frequent partners include Xx Syezd Vlksm, Xxvii Syezd Kpss, Matvey Kuzmin, Anatoliy Ponomarev, and Aleksandr Ksenofontov.

Transshipment occurs when fishing vessels offload their catch to a refrigerated carrier that transports it to port, rather than the vessel going itself. Reefers can haul catch from multiple fishing vessels at once, which makes supply chain tracing difficult.
