Liaodong Yingkou Port, after years of construction, has surpassed Vladivostok Port and Luzon Port, and has become the busiest port of Far Eastern Company. Bayuquan port area has superior natural conditions, small water depth and waves, no siltation or freezing, and is navigable in all seasons, making it a rare deep-water port in the north.

Countless ships dock here every day, mainly from Vladivostok, Southeast Asia and the coastal areas of Daming. Including several 10,000-ton giant ships in the Far East, more than 100 large transport aircraft sailing ships and all sailing ships, they can all be berthed in Yingkou Port.

Although the Northeast Railway artery has been completed and opened to traffic, and the Railway Department is constantly building a double line on this railway artery, nearly one-third of the road has been built, but with the continuous development of the Far East company, the company's logistics capacity is still very tight, and a considerable amount of sea transportation is needed to make up for the lack of capacity.

Most of the ships from Southeast Asia carry mineral resources, grain, agricultural and sideline products and other materials, and the annual volume is also very large. Ships loaded with rice, agricultural products and other grains rush to Yingkou Port every day from Luzon, Indochina, Nanyang and India.

At present, the Far Eastern Company's grain materials cannot meet the company's needs only by relying on cultivated land in Liaodong, Outer Northeast and other regions, and it still relies on the support of Nanyang, India and Indochina Peninsula every year.

The company's warehousing department has requisitioned a large amount of land near Yingkou Port, not only established a huge strategic storage area, but also built an open-air freight yard covering an area of 4 million square meters. The company's chemical department has established a large-scale strategic reserve oil depot and a chemical material warehouse near Yingkou Port.

The logistics branch of the Logistics Department of the Central Military Commission in the Yingkou area is also the largest, not far from the Yingkou port, and there is a special railway that can directly connect to the port wharf. A large number of weapons and equipment, ammunition and materials, military uniforms and quilts, general materials, field food, oil accessories and other war readiness materials are stored.

The amount of supplies was very huge, even if the field division came to Yingkou Port empty-handed. The logistics branch of the Central Military Commission in the Yingkou area can also quickly arm the officers and men of the field division to the teeth, and it can also launch a campaign-level battle of no small scale.

Today, the inland wharves built along the Liaohe River are almost connected, and since the beginning of each spring, the inland barge fleet on the Liaohe waterway is endless, almost covering the river. You can't see the edge. A fleet of inland steam-deck barges loaded with supplies constantly travels between Shenyang and Yingkou through the Liao River and the Hunhe River.

After the closure of Vladivostok in winter every year, a large number of resources from Southeast Asia can only be stored in the open-air freight yard of Yingkou Port, and after the river thaws and clears in the spring, the materials are transported to Shenyang by inland steam deck barges, and transported to the Vladivostok area by the main artery of the Northeast Railway.

At present, the infrastructure construction department of the company's construction committee is stepping up the construction of Lushun Port, and the railway department is also building the railway from Shenyang to Lushun and Shenyang to Yingkou. Once Port Arthur and the two railway lines are completed and opened to traffic, transportation will be stagnant every winter due to the freezing of the river. It's going to be gone. Far Eastern Company relies on two modern ports in Liaodong, which can greatly alleviate the pressure of the company's logistics tension.

In addition to various supplies from Vladivostok and Southeast Asia, displaced people from the coastal areas of Daming put the greatest pressure on Yingkou Port. From May until late October, the waters around Yingkou Port are crowded with sails, and countless boats transporting displaced people are waiting in long lines to enter the port area.

The first two years. Because the company was not very well prepared, it brought great confusion to the reception work of Yingkou Port. After all, transporting people and transporting goods are two different things. Fortunately, the company has built a new port area near Yingkou Port. It is specially responsible for receiving displaced people from the north of the Ming Dynasty, and the displaced people can disembark directly from here, which relieves the pressure on Yingkou Port.

After a large number of displaced people disembark at Yingkou Port, there is a well-organized camp on the wharf, and all kinds of facilities are also very complete. Fenced passages allow large numbers of displaced people to enter the camps directly. Registration, screening and decontamination are carried out.

The whole process of receiving the displaced people is extremely efficient, and there are experienced staff in charge of each link, and some officers and soldiers of the Far Eastern Army are responsible for maintaining order.

Displaced people are registered, screened and purified. Special personnel distributed materials for them, and then broke up the original organizational sequence, and directly reorganized into squadrons, squads and other grass-roots organizational structures on the wharf, and finally each reorganized detachment was taken out of the wharf in an orderly manner.

The two railway lines from Shenyang to Yingkou and Lushun are two-way construction. The railway station and freight yard of Yingkou Port have been basically completed, and the railway network in the port area has also been connected to traffic.

At present, the wharf in the port area and the nearby storage area have built a complete railway line, and after unloading grain and other materials, they can be directly transported to the strategic reserve warehouse by trains moored on the special railway line on the wharf.

The open-air storage area is directly set up on the side of the wharf, and all kinds of mineral materials are piled up in the open-air freight yard. While several steam-powered gantry cranes on the wharf do most of the unloading work, the port's well-established rail network takes care of the delivery of supplies.

However, due to the lack of sufficient machinery, the work of secondary loading and unloading and transshipment still requires primitive manual and animal power to complete, and the production efficiency is extremely low, which is also the main reason why the cargo throughput capacity of Yingkou Port has not been able to break through.

The strategic reserve oil depot is much better, Yingkou Port has a special chemical wharf, and oil tankers sailing from Sakhalin Island can directly stop at the chemical wharf and transport various refined oils, lubricating oils and engine oil products to the strategic reserve oil depot through oil pipelines.

These oil tankers are converted from nearly 100 obsolete improved sailboats, each ship can transport 200-500 tons of refined oil, the ships have been modified with various safety facilities, and oil suction and oil transportation equipment have also been installed. Every year, oil products are delivered to strategic reserve oil depots throughout the Far East.

It is gratifying that the Russian-style oil tanker that passed through the wormhole with everyone is still not decommissioned. Although the company only regarded him as a one-time product, the condition of the ship was very bad at that time, as if it was going to be scrapped at any time, but it is still alive and tenaciously until today, and it can have dinner in Vladivostok and Yingkou Port more than ten times a year.
