It can also process 5 million tons of general and dry cargo, expandable to 7 million tons, plus 1 million tons of liquid cargo.

Spanning an area of 776,000 square meters, the terminal features a quay stretching 1,100 meters in length with a depth of 17 meters, and is equipped with 3 giant ship-to-shore cranes and 6 yard cranes for container handling.
