Slave ships were often not allowed to dock at port due to the fear of disease outbreaks, such as yellow fever or smallpox, which could spread among the crew, enslaved individuals, and local populations.

Ports sometimes implemented regulations to restrict or monitor the arrival of such ships to mitigate these risks.
