Amid holiday, duty calls at Dalian ports
Police keep busy inspecting vessels during Spring Festival
Carrying 9,000 metric tons of frozen cod, the vessel arrived in Dalian from Vladivostok, Russia, on Feb 10. As it was being unloaded, goods were also being carted off another Russian seafood cargo ship docked at the wharf. Despite Spring Festival, operations at the wharf continued around the clock.
"Liaoyu's deep-water wharf is one of the largest bulk frozen fish distribution wharves in China. More and more imported seafood such as king crabs, snow crabs, cold-water shrimp and flounder are making their way from here to the tables of domestic consumers," said Huo Yinghua, deputy director of the dispatch room at Dalian Liaoyu Group's port company.
"Since the approach of Spring Festival, the volume of vessels at our port has significantly increased. Border officials worked to ensure that the speed of vessel clearance remained unaffected by the holiday," Huo said.
