Bangkok, Thailand
Off-loading deep-frozen skipjack and yellowfin tuna from Sea Glory II, a Taiwanese-owned reefer that had just arrived in Bangkok Harbor from Majuro in the Western Pacific. The fish are stored in bulk, so teams of workers have to pry them apart 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, and in France as Petit Navire.
