Most of the cargo was piled up at Golden Port Pier, and if it had to be transported over, it would be another shipping cost. Some ships would rather wait a few days than load and unload here.
The main costs of sea transportation lie in fuel expenses and crew costs. If these cargo ships just dock at ordinary piers or even stay at sea without starting their engines, then the costs would be very low.
They could use small boats to send crew members to the pier to relax, which was like giving them a holiday and thereby reducing some labor costs.
Of course, most of the time Golden Port Pier was not crowded. This was only a rare occurrence.
Compared to the bustling Golden Port Pier, this place was like a retirement home. Despite being a newly built pier, it exuded an air of decline that did not match its youth.
The workers stood in clusters at the edge of the pier, chatting or strolling, with no sign of a tense working atmosphere.
