Recording handovers between boat, quay and city buyer makes delay and loss causes in the first shipment leg visible.

Open a lot record at the quay

Record catch or lot identity, crate count, handover time, sender and receiver. If a reading is required, use the method and point in the product procedure.

Check container and ice handling

Record crate integrity, drainage, ice distribution and whether meltwater contacts the product.

Do not assume the same container and loading arrangement is used every trip; note changes.

Trace each handover to the city. Link vehicle loading time, route departure, transfers, delivery time and receiver acceptance notes to the same lot.

At each transfer, make container closed/open condition and the responsible party clear.

Record each leg's time instead of promising duration.

Review complaints using evidence

Compare product and lot, readings, ice and drainage observations, elapsed times and receiver feedback to locate a possible problem point.

Acceptance or safety decisions follow product specifications and authorized food safety procedures.

Handover records provide concrete evidence for operational improvement and commercial discussions.
