In an industry heavily focused on imports and exports, working as a stevedore unloading ships pays relatively well.

In Iceland, fishermen heavily depend on a skilled stevedore to load and unload the catch of the day.

The stevedore had bulging muscles from his years of lifting the heavy cargo he transported from ship to land.

Every coastal military base has a stevedore trained to carefully transport dangerous weaponry from ship cargo holds to the main base.

After the last cargo hauler was fire for stealing from the ship stores, a new stevedore was hired.
