Positions range from crane operators and terminal supervisors to logistics coordinators and maintenance crews.

Shift patterns often depend on the volume of ship arrivals and the specific role, with some teams following fixed schedules and others on a rotating basis. While this can require flexibility and adaptability, it also allows some workers the opportunity to balance work with other commitments.
