New Warehouses for Kunsan Harbor
Caption Description
Kunsan, one of Korea's most important ports, is so silted that ships must unload part of their cargo outside the harbor before coming into the docks. Goods are loaded onto lighters, transferred to oxcarts or A-frames, loaded into box-cars or taken to remote warehouses and then handled in the reverse manner for rail shipment out of the port. Three large ware houses, were destroyed during the fighting. As part of its program aimed at rehabilitating the port area, UNKRA undertook the reconstruction of the warehouses, which lie between the docks and the railroad tracks, enabling goods to be unloads directly into the warehouses and then to be transferred onto the trains.
Here is a view of one of the three warehouses, which are built on the site and using the remaining concrete pillars of the old buildings. Each warehouse is 290 by 80 feet and can hold about 4,000 tons of cement or fertilizer, the major goods shipped through the port. UNKRA provided $285,000 worth of imported materials for the construction, and 32 million Hwans for building costs.
