Can a settler ship found a settlement during the build phase instead of the movement phase?

Only two replies, which disagree about the build phase; no ruling.

Unclear, and probably not. The rulebook says nothing is built after the movement phase except a settlement founded with a settler ship, which places the landing in the movement phase. The German edition headlines it as a movement-phase action. One reply would allow it in the build phase, but another notes that removing the ship may count as moving it.
