All recent innovations are fairly well known and applied.

Thus, districts were eliminated, which means that the number of management personnel was reduced. The dockworkers realized that now the work would depend on them... In the first year after that, the intensity of cargo handling increased by 30%.

Other steps followed: the creation of unified technological shifts at loading complexes No. 3 and No. 8, the introduction of a collective contract (based on a non-loading system) at complex No. 4, the transfer to the lease of an oil loading complex, etc. Various forms of organization and remuneration, various mechanisms of material incentives are being tested in the teams of the port's production units, depending on the specifics of the work of each of them. The technology of ship handling is also being improved.

However, all these relatively recent innovations are already well known and are used in many ports. But the Leningraders were among the first to use them.

Now let's talk about another, less well-known side of the matter. About what has been considered a stumbling block for all ports for many years: their dependence on suppliers. There are no cargoes — there are such situations—sit, wait by the sea for the weather. That's what they used to do: there's a shipping company, a ministry, they'll help out if something happens — they'll adjust the plan, they'll give you some money for a salary.

With self-financing, everything changes dramatically: no one will help out, adjust, or give you a lift. I got what I earned. Sitting back is a direct loss. But what about it?

There is only one way out: not to be led by circumstances, but to overcome them. To make a profit where they had previously put up with losses. To find a way out in any difficult situation. Look for reliable partners. Be extremely efficient and careful yourself. And enterprising.

Well, here, at least, is an example. Soyuzpromexport planned to ship 600 thousand tons of coal abroad. But there was a problem: there was nowhere to store part of it. What does it seem to matter to the port? He needs the cargo to be delivered on time, and that's it... Is that all?

— We agreed in this way, — says O. Terekhov. — Soyuzpromexport was provided with conditions for indefinite storage of that part of the cargo (50 thousand tons), which they had nowhere to put. But for this service, the association has committed to send the entire shipment through our port, and not any other.

You must agree: everything is very simple and very profitable. The port helped the partner solve his problems and received additional cargo traffic for this. As a result, this operation alone brought the team 1 million rubles of profit.

Another fact. The Exporthleb Association has certain standards for the natural loss of grain during transportation and transshipment. The port workers undertook to work in such a way as to reduce it below the established norms, which, without a doubt, is beneficial to Exporthleb. But the association also began to supply more grain for shipment, which increased the profits of the port workers.

And how many problems, how much fuss and all kinds of inconveniences there were with carbamide, which is produced by the Novgorod production Association "Azot". There it was filled in plastic bags and then transported by wagons to the port for shipment to distant countries. But for all the seemingly profitable operation, not a single port wanted to get involved with this cargo — they had to force it in a commanding manner. The reason was the inconvenient and unreliable packaging: the bags often tore, the carbamide spilled out... Overloading them on a camping trip is an expensive task.

That's why no one wanted to take it. But the Leningrad dockworkers approached the matter differently. They told the chemists: your problems are also our problems, let's solve them together. And they offered their idea. What is its essence? The idea is to put several bags together and wrap them with shrink wrap. It turns out to be a neat package with a double, by the way, safety shell and, moreover, very convenient for mechanized transshipment.
