Fresh seafood purchasing boats are not charities; they are businesses that buy seafood at low prices and then resell it at higher prices.
The price difference is their profit.
When a fishing boat is out at sea, if the cargo in the hold is already piled up like a mountain, the only option left is to sell it.
The engines of large ships are no joke; they're practically oil guzzlers, consuming twenty to thirty liters of diesel every hour.
Moreover, each trip to shore takes at least four or five hours, and if you venture deep into the ocean, it can often take more than ten hours.
In this way, hundreds of liters of diesel fuel are gone in the blink of an eye, greatly increasing the cost.
Moreover, after reaching the shore, it's uncertain how long the delay will be, and if any unexpected situations arise, the outcome will be even more unpredictable.
The time wasted alone is enough to catch several more fish.
Therefore, unless there is a last resort, such as when there is no fish-collecting boat available or someone falls ill, people usually do not choose to go ashore to sell their fish.
Therefore, when large fishing boats go out to sea and are too far from the shore, it is more cost-effective to sell their catch directly to fish-collecting boats.
Of course, if high-value fish are caught, they will be kept fresh with ice and sold together after they are brought ashore, so as to maximize profits.

After looking at the income statement, he glanced at the expense statement.
There were only three expense receipts in total, and their dates were the same as the three sales receipts in between.
The first expense receipt appeared on the fourth day after setting sail.
This is also the highest-priced one.
When the Harvest set sail, it was originally planned to return in two or three days.
For this reason, the supplies prepared on board the Harvest were very limited.
By the fourth day of the journey, the ship's supplies were almost exhausted, forcing them to resupply on a cargo ship.
