But the port police and fish-handling workers had to carry on, using gloves, face masks and screens. The port is a very lively place and distancing is a problem. But because we knew in advance how many vessels were coming in and the estimated amount of catch they were bringing, we could see any excess in vessels and convince the operators to delay landings or bring fewer boats at a time. The port police used this information to assign a specific area for each boat to unload the boxes. This approach is still rare in ports.
