Site types typical around Fraserburgh
Harbour & Fish Landing Site sites
Landings happen on the tide, not on the training calendar — cohorts need to run around 04:00 market openings without stopping fish flow.
Cold Store & Chilled DC sites
Cold-store operators need FLT training that respects fatigue and low-temp component behaviour — not a warm-warehouse cohort transplanted in.
