The experience of high-speed ship handling in the Kaliningrad port

Having launched a socialist competition for the early completion of the 1954 plan, the Kaliningrad Seaport staff introduced a comprehensive technological process of loading and unloading operations, introduced high-speed ship handling methods into the system.

In the second quarter of 1954, 1202 ship hours were saved during the processing of marine vessels.

In June, 46 of the 50 ships that arrived at the port were processed using high—speed methods, 37 of them using new technology; the savings in operating time amounted to 626 ship-hours.

The cost of processing 1 ton of cargo in the second quarter of 1954 in the port as a whole amounted to 6 rubles. with the plan of 7 p. 40 K., i.e. it was reduced by 18.8%.

The technology of high-speed ship handling in the Kaliningrad port is based on the use of reserves of the port's production facilities, increased labor productivity in all parts of the transshipment process, and the introduction of an hourly schedule. Increased crane productivity is achieved by reducing cycle time. When working with the ship-barge variant, the main working movements of cranes are lifting, lowering the load and changing the boom departure, while turning the crane and moving it along the portal are excluded. This alone makes it possible to reduce the time spent on cargo operations by 30%.

Proper placement of loaders plays an important role in increasing the productivity of loaders. In order to avoid delays in processing due to uneven loading of the holds, additional cranes are installed in those holds containing the largest amount of cargo. At the same time, the technological map provides for ensuring a sufficient front of work. Significant acceleration of work is also achieved due to simultaneous unloading of sea vessels by gantry and floating cranes from two sides — into river barges and into a warehouse.

The acceleration of ship handling is greatly facilitated by the use of the most effective gripping devices and rigging, the mechanization of bulk cargo in the holds of ships using C-153 loaders and grabbing grapples. Ships are supplied with fuel, water, technical materials and food during cargo operations. All necessary technical facilities for loading and unloading operations are being prepared at the berth prior to the arrival of the vessel.

All of these measures are provided for in the development of a technological map and an hourly schedule for ship processing, which are compiled taking into account the previously obtained results of ship processing and the achievements of the port's leaders.
