FIRST SRV VESSII, IN ODESSA
Moscow N.ORSKOY FLOT in Russian Aug 81 p 6
[Article and photograph by A. Levit: "Friendship Watch on the Piers"]
[Text] In March of 1981 the diesel motor ship "Song Duong" docked in the port
- of Odessa. This was the first vessel from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to
arrive in Odessa.
Dock workers knew of the approach of the "Song Duong" and awaited its arrival
- with impatience, having thought through, down to its smallest detail, the entire
course of the forthcoming unloading operation, That is why, immediately after a
_ meeting held on board the diesel motor ship, a decision was made to meet with
all interested parties and to discuss the plan of operations. Signed at that
meetiag was the firs~: agreement on an extensive social;st competition between
_ Vietnamese seamen, dock workers from the port's second rayon, and railroad
workers from the Port of Odessa station. Rayon Chief G. Tankov, Captain
_ Ngo Din' Kkhoy, UKB No 208 Brigade Leader N. Tymun' and Railroad Station Chief
V. Shokot'ko were the signatories. Dock workers resolved to reduce the layover
tim e of freight cars by no less than 5 percent and to reload the ship's cargo
intact and in a high-quality manner. The Vietnamese seamen vowed to do everything
in their power to assist the dock workers. The railroad workers promised to
provide freight cars on time and to be ~rompt in bringing out the loaded cars.
, Ttie Vietnamese vessel delivered traditional export items to our nation: parquet
_ flooring, jute, tea, shoes, rugs and sewn goods plus matting--more than 4,000 tons
of cargo.
Each day it was necessary t~ unload more than 400 tons of goods from the ship and
to either load them into railroad cars or to store ttiem in warehouses in order
to keep to the schedule agreed upon in the contract.
It is practically impossible to conduct freight operations rapidly when you
consider that the goods delivered have not been packaged. However, the Komsamol
youth brigade led by Nikolay Tymun' mobilized all of its ability and applied
maximum effort in order to adequately cope with the tasks set by the contract.

- We figure that, every day, the brigade fulfilled its daily assignment by no less
than 150 percent and reached 180 to 200 percent on certain days. Dock worker
collectives led by D. Novitskiy, V. Pogrebenko and N. Dobrenko also worked
successfully. We also visited the "Song Duong" on the last, the tenth day of
unloading operations.
We were welcomed aboard with a smile by a likeable young man who greeted us in
good Russian with "A good day to you, one and all..."
~ While accompanying us to tine captain's cabin, Nguen Toin (for such w~s the young
man's name) told us that he had studied at the Odessa Higher Marine Engineering
School, f rom which he had successfully graduated in 1973. He was now senior
. engineer~aboard the "Song Duong."
"It has been 7 years since I have been in Odessa. I am very glad to be in this
_ remarkable city and port again," Nguen said. He then went on to assist us in our
^onversation with the ship's captain, Ngo Din' Kkhoy.
_ "The port workers are doing an excellent job," the captain staLed. "We have seen
- in practice how it is possible to speed up ship processing under conditions in
which the number of vessels arriving in port is sharply increasing. Back in the
past, our nation had its own fleet but one which could be used only for short
trips. But now, thanks to the aid of the Soviet Union and other nations which are
members of CEMA, we have trained our own personnel and have acquired new ships.
Our diesel motor ships are modern, universal-purpose vessels which can carry about
- 18 different types of cargo."
During the course of our conversation with the captain, which took place on the
ship's bridge, the gas turbine ship "Ka.pitan Smirnov" was making its departure
- from the port. Upon catching sight of this large, ocean-going roll on-roll off
- container ship, th e senior mechanic excitedly began to say something to the
captain. Then, turning to us, Nguen Toin expl~ined that the young Vietnamese
fleet was not only glad for the successes of their Soviet comrades but was learning
from them also.
The captain was delighted with the mastery with which that large Soviet vessel
was being handled. Our camera captured the moment when the Vietnamese seamen
were attentively watching the "Kaptain Smirnov." We decided to photograph the
captain, who brought the first SRV vessel into the port of Odessa, in all of
- his captain's regalia. It turned out, however, that the fleet of Socialist
Vietnam is too young for its seamen to have their own uniforms as yet. But no
matter, that will only make this photograph more interesting a few years from now.
"Our trip to Odessa," first mate Nguen Suan Tam said, "has once more confirmed
that the friendship between the SRV and the great Soviet Union, that the policy
of th~ CPSU directed at ti~e expansion and deepening of all-round ties with
fraternal nations of Socialism, is based on the eternal living teachings of
Marxism-Leninism, on our joint struggle for peace and democracy."
