Er rumorte unten auf der Brücke mit Kisten und Schiffsgeräten herum, er schien sich vorgenommen zu haben, gerade am Feiertagsabend gründlich aufzuräumen.

He was bustling about down on the bridge with crates and the ship's equipment; he seemed to have decided to do a thorough clean-up, of all times, on a holiday evening.

or Mark: he seemed to have decided to do a thorough clean up, of all times, on a holiday evening. (aufzuräumen - clean up, tidy up)
(gerade am Feiertagsabend - in the sense of 'ausgerechnet am Feiertagsabend - on a holiday evening, of all times)
