counteract erosion caused by strong currents in the area and also as a
support for the Tuapse/Sochi rail link. The concrete blocks measured
about 2 by 1.5 by 5 meters, were produced in Novorossiysk.,andd were
put in place with the aid of a floating derrick (point 75). Two
rings were set in block. These blocks were laid so that they were
visible about 50 ems above the water level, and each pier was about
four to five blocks long. The work of building these piers was
proceeding slowly because of a labor shortage.

At a distance of 100, 200.,and 300 meters from shore, overhead cross
bridges have been built. Underneath these bridges were 12 switches per
bridge. Four ships could load oil simultaneously at this pier, at a
