Head of Ports[edit]
The Leningrad Port[edit]
A. Kuzmin wrote: "In 1939 Yakov Lvovich became chief of the Leningrad commercial seaport. In the new work Beilinson directed all his attention on the two areas: organization of dispatching service and expansion of the mechanization front. He understood that advanced technology should be controlled by competent, experienced personnel. And when in the next, in 1940 the port of Leningrad had to endure a tough test - throughout the navigation the port received a huge amount of bulk, especially coal and salt - the port has successfully coped with this task. At the initiative of Yakov Lvovich, after his drawings in a short time coal conveyors, salt fields were arranged. When unloading vessels monocable grabs began to be applied for the first time. Head of the port personally supervised the loading operations. According to results of 1940 the Leningrad Commercial Seaport won the competition among the ports of the Soviet Union and received Red Banner of the People’s Commissariat of the Navy”. For the first time Beilinson was head of the Leningrad commercial port since April 1939 until November 1941. For the second time - until July 29, 1949.
