During the second Seven-Year Plan, North Korea carried out a full-scale expansion of Nampo Port. During harbor dredging, all the companies in the port were moved elsewhere, breakwaters were built from the south lighthouse of the east quay along the river to the coal quay in the east, and the cargo-stacking area was expanded. A quay exclusively for grains was recently constructed on an island near Nampo Port, and a modern quay was also recently built in Ryongnam village, 8 km from Nampo Port. The water level was raised by building a large river embankment at Daedong River, which allowed direct entrance of vessels into Pyongyang.
