Etymology

The term 'stevedoring' originates from the Spanish word 'estibador,' which means 'one who stows cargo.' The word has its roots in the Latin 'stivator,' derived from 'stivare,' meaning 'to stow.' Over time, the word entered the English language in the early 19th century, coinciding with the rise of commercial shipping and the need for specialized labor to manage the loading and unloading of ships. As the shipping industry grew, the role of stevedores became crucial in minimizing turnaround times for vessels in ports. The process has evolved with advancements in technology and changes in the global supply chain, but the core principles of stevedoring remain the same.
