Amid a vigorous drive for the revolution for regional development and rural construction being conducted across the DPRK according to the grand blueprint of the Workers’ Party of Korea, a fleet of cargo ships transporting cement to the mountainous counties of North Phyongan and Jagang provinces bounded by Lake Suphung has been formed.

True to the noble intention of the Party Central Committee to provide the local people with civilized and affluent living conditions and environment as early as possible, the workers at the Sinuiju Shipbuilding Yard and the Suphung Marine Transport Company built cement carriers and dredger with their own efforts and technology and thus laid another solid material foundation for dynamically pushing forward the regional and rural construction even in the areas where transport conditions are unfavourable.

The successes achieved by the workers in the field of marine transport in the drive to successfully conclude this significant year and greet the 11th Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Party Central Committee with proud labour feats are an expression of the boundless patriotic loyalty of the Korean people who regard the Party’s plans and intentions as sacred and honourable revolutionary tasks and devotedly struggle for carrying them out perfectly.

The newly-built cargo ships Jinhung-1, Jinhung-2 and Jinhung-3 and the dredger Jinhung-4 were launched.

A launching ceremony took place on the spot on December 8.

Present at the launching ceremony 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.

The speakers said that the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un ensured that the state made it a policy and law to supply cement regularly to all cities and counties every year, adding that he took a revolutionary measure to organize a transport fleet so that cement for rural construction can be quickly transported to counties around Lake Suphung and clarified in detail the issues arising in building and operating it.

They said that officials, technicians and employees of the Ministry of Land and Maritime Transport and the Sinuiju Shipbuilding Yard completed the Korean-style new and unique designs of cargo ships and successfully completed the shipbuilding in a short span of time with a single mind to implement the plan of the Party Central Committee.

They said that the workers at the Suphung Maritime Transport Company made a great contribution to building the cargo ships and dredger by mobilizing the potentiality and built cement depots together with builders in Sakju County.

They said that the formation of the transport fleet in Lake Suphung under the initiative and wise guidance of the Party Central Committee made it possible to ship cement and other building materials which were carried over a long distance by land in the areas around Lake Suphung and provided practical conditions for accelerating rural development by making good use of the regional features.

The speakers called upon all the officials and working people to further intensify the fighting spirit for ushering in a new era of regional rejuvenation in hearty response to the decisions of the plenary meetings of the Party Central Committee and thus make a positive contribution to the overall prosperity and development of the country.

At the end of the launching ceremony, the cargo ships filled with cement left a port with loud whistles.
