The original Japanese plan called for laying down a 30 km breakwater; dredging a 13.4 km, 200 m wide shipping channel; building a shiplock at the entrance of the Haihe; and establishing three wharves with 12 berths, for a projected throughput of 27 Mt. The plan was expected to be completed by 1947. Work slowed down as the war started to go wrong for Japan, and resources (in particular, coal) became more and more scarce. By the time of Japan's surrender in 1945, the project was less than half-way completed: the shipping channel had been two-thirds dredged, breakwaters extended 11 km, only one terminal with 700 m of quayside had been completed, and a second terminal and the barge terminal were almost completed. The Shiplock was 85% complete, 11 km of railways had been laid down, and the ship dock (now the Xingang Shipyard) had been established.
