      Ah, that explains a lot, then.

      These are all island nations in Oceania that receive large amounts of their food supply from outside the country. This offloads much of the energy cost of refrigeration onto whatever nation owns the ship. I don’t know if there’s a good way of figuring out how much energy is spent shipping supplies to those countries, though.
