tallyman
Dock inventory keeper
A tallyman is someone who keeps count or records—originally marking tallies on a stick or board.
In British usage, a tallyman was a door-to-door seller who tracked installment payments: The tallyman came round every Friday to collect.
In shipping and logistics, a tallyman counts cargo as it's loaded or unloaded.
The word appears in the folk song "Day-O": Come, Mr. Tallyman, tally me banana.
