Hello all! Working on a labour risks prevention document for fishing boats and I've come across some words I can't find in any of my nautical dictionaries or online.
Chabolero, according to:
https://www.euroinnova.edu.es/profesion/chabolero
means "el encargado de guardar los materiales en la descarga de los buques de pesca, del mismo modo que tiene que mantener el orden en las chabolas."
Someone who works on the docks, but I can't find the equivalent name in English? Does anyone know it?

"A stevedore, also called a longshoreman, a docker or a dockworker, is a waterfront manual laborer who is involved in loading and unloading ships, trucks, trains or airplanes. After the shipping container revolution of the 1960s, the number of dockworkers required declined by over 90%".
