Markings on the blocks closing off the galleries at Wadi e-Jarf bear other crew-names which also include cartouche names of Khufu.
Fragments of an accounts papyrus found at the site (location G2, US 2015) bear the date of the 13th cattle-count of Khufu (Tallet, MIFAO 136, 2017: 3).

Given the presence of the other evidence just mentioned, it's fairly safe to infer that the cargo transported by Merer and his crew was intended for a major construction at the funerary complex of Akhet-Khufu.
