CHEMULPO (JINSEN)
川仁 Jin-sen
This port is situated 24 miles west of Seoul and is reached by train in 50 minutes, the two cities being also connected by a good motor road. Among Korean ports, Chemulpo is surpassed by Fusan alone in the volume of its trade. The harbour is protected by two islands lying across the entrance, but suffers the extreme inconvenience of a rise and fall of tide reaching 30 feet. A dock was constructed in 1918 large enough to accommodate three steamers of 4,600 tons each, and the construction has now been begun of an- other dock on a much larger scale. There is no dry dock at Jinsen, only a small slip for small craft repairs. Near the harbour a large area has been reclaimed and is now covered with streets and buildings, including the custom-house, offices and godowns. Chemulpo is growing industrially and possesses flour mills and a cotton spinning and weaving mill. The popula- tion in 1935 was 82,992.
The annual trade of Jinsen in 1938 was valued at Yen 344,600,139.00 (Export: Yen 129, 859, 598.00; Import: Yen 214, 740, 541.00).
There is a wet basin, with two lock gates at Entrance, which can accommodate 8 vessels of 4,600 tons, and vessels can enter at all states of the tide. All ocean going vessels lie outside Sho-Getsubito Island in the outer anchorage about three miles from the port.
