The Great Patriotic War of the Soviet people against the Nazi invaders set the sailors of the cake fleet the most important tasks that had to be performed immediately, regardless of the military situation, and precisely in connection with it.
Dozens and hundreds of examples of heroic dedication, initiative, and innovative ingenuity in carrying out tasks are added to the achievements of the Stakhanovites of the fleet and ports in a military situation.
Extremely interesting from the point of view of fleet operation and the use of all transport resources to increase transportation are some innovations that were first put into practice in a military situation, the possibility of which is not mentioned in any textbook on fleet and port operation.
Here are some of them.
The situation and demands of the front on the Black Sea raised the question of the urgent transfer of steam locomotives and railway wagons by sea to ensure communication and offensive actions of the Red Army. Excellent results in carrying out such a specific task were achieved by using floating docks for transportation.
On a conventional floating dock, the keel blocks were removed and railway tracks of the same gauge as the access roads of common railways were laid on the slipway deck. The number of lines laid on the dock depends on the width of the upper part of the dock between the towers and the size of the rolling stock intended for transportation. The floating docks that practically exist in our country allow for the possibility of laying 4-5 railway lines on them.
The total length of the dock's four railway lines is the starting value for determining the number of steam locomotives and wagons that can accommodate them, taking into account the types of rolling stock. In practice, this amounted to up to 25 steam locomotives and the same number of wagons per dock.
For loading and unloading, the head of the berths was chosen, on which the railway tracks were laid; it was enough to extend one of the track lines to the cordon of the pier. At the junction of the dock and berth tracks, sleeper cages were laid out to create a variable level of dock and berth tracks, as well as for flexible connections.
Attempts to dock steam locomotives with a crane did not yield results due to the difficulty of securing them, the need for powerful cranes not only in the port of loading, but also unloading, as well as the slowness of the loading process.
The easiest and most convenient way was to "roll" steam locomotives and wagons onto the dock.
