General Santos, Philippines
Tuna catches logged at the fish port, from the hold to the frozen export.
Purse-seine and longline boats in General Santos land tuna at the fish port. We record each catch's trip, fishing area and freezing time, so an exporter can show the fish's route from the sea.

The two times that matter
The interval is calculated from the landing time and the freezing time on the same line. Neither the boat nor the exporter can type a shorter one.
Trip record
Each catch names its trip and the boat's fishing area.
Freezing interval
Landing time and freezing time sit side by side, so the gap between them is plain to see.
Port sign-off
The port officer signs the landing weight and time.
