In the deep of night, the lights at the floating crane platform by the Shuzhou City river bank shone brightly.
Dock workers operated the cranes, tirelessly loading coal from the ocean-going ships into the barges moored at the inner side of the inland river.
This stretch of water fell within the jurisdiction of the Binjiang Port Supervision Bureau, and the Port Patrol Second Team had the authority to oversee dock operations and waterway traffic safety.
Xiao Yu stood on the Supervision Boat, and while the crew of the inland river cargo ship was not paying attention, he had just snapped a photo of the cargo hold's pile when the ship's crew, under the dispatcher's command at the dock, untied the mooring ropes, started the main engine, and slowly set off. Another cargo ship that had been waiting at the anchorage for some time crossed the river's surface with a rumble, coming over to moor and load its cargo.
