Are you able to transfer all the resources from China and Korea through Fusan. I think that you mentioned in your game against Tiemanj that you were able to. I have always wondered how you did this. I just can never seem to get enough going through the port, and when I try, they accumulate all over the place: every port with light industry. Of course, they love to accumulate at Port Arthur more than anywhere else. But I find that I have to run cargo ships from at least one port in China and at least 1 in Korea in addition to Fusan to keep the resource from piling up and to keep Honshu going.
There is hundreds of posts about this in my AAR with Tiemanj with great contributors (Pax, Alfred, Obvert, Lok, Spidery, and others).
Process is simple: Build the port. Give it naval support. Divide the destination port among two HI ports. Use multiple small task forces - 1-2 ships no more. Base as many ships as is humanly possible at Fusan. Build the draw from Fusan gradually adding a ship every day or so once the lower half of China is taken.
I used to avoid filling up from other bases, but you can do that too as long as it isn't a CS. You can jump start the movement by following the same procedure from Saigon, then Cam Ranh Bay, then Haiphong, then Hong Kong, then Fusan.
Ship fuel and oil anywhere from Cam Ranh Bay and east.
A lot depends upon what has happened previously in the game, port sizes, and most of all it takes time to teach the AI.
I don't worry at all about exceeding the docking limits....it doesn't seem important when there is a mass of single ship task forces...but there is no faster way to move tons of resources. If you ever read Mike Soli AAR with convoys of same ships picked for port size, docking constraints, and material handling levels then this is quite heretical.
Just keep adding Adens and Limas and follow the material flow on Tracker till you reach your objective. With such short trips you can use less efficient merchantmen if you want to.
Fuel is by far and away the quickest to get to flow. Resources next and oil last.
I don't bother to try and get anything to flow from Singers to the east, but that does happen to a degree.
You want to make the port big, and create a steady and growing demand. The AI will figure it out at some point.
Did you build Fusan to a size 8 port, like Getassista states? That must be it. I have never built it past size 6, and I have found that one size 6 port is just not enough. BTW, Getassista is right about naval support. You do not need it for resources or oil. Don't waste that valuable naval support.
