A fleet of cargo ships was formed to transport cement to the mountainous counties of North Phyongan and Jagang provinces near Lake Suphung amid the vigorous drive for the revolution for regional development and rural construction across the DPRK according to the grand blueprint of the Workers' Party of Korea.
The newly-built cargo ships "Jinhung-1", "Jinhung-2" and "Jinhung-3" and the excavation ship "Jinhung-4" were launched.
A launching ceremony took place on the spot on December 8.
Present there were Kang Jong Gwan, minister of Land and Maritime Transport, Ri Hi Yong, chief secretary of the North Phyongan Provincial Committee of the WPK, officials of the Ministry of Land and Maritime Transport and North Phyongan and Jagang provinces, employees of the Sinuiju Shipbuilding Yard and the Suphung Maritime Transport Company and working people in Sakju County.
Choe Yong Man, chairman of the North Phyongan Provincial People's Committee, made an address to be followed by speeches.
They said that the formation of the transport fleet in Lake Suphung has made it possible for the areas around the lake, which transported cement and other building materials along the long overland route, to use convenient water transport and provided practical conditions for accelerating the rural development by making effective use of the regional features.
At the end of the launching ceremony, the cargo ships filled with cement left a port with a loud whistle.
