Offloading deep-frozen (-32°C) tuna (skipjack and yellowfin) from a Taiwanese owned (FCF), but Panamanian flagged reefer (Sea Glory II" that had just arrived in Bangkok Harbor from Majuro in the Marshall Islands of the Western Pacific. The fish are stored in bulk, and teams of workers have to pry them apart with crowbars and pile them into cargo nets where they are transferred to refrigerated trucks for a short trip to the Thai Union canning factory. Thai Union is the world's largest processor of tuna, and in the U.S. is sold under their Chicken of the Sea brand.
