The Navios terminal has specially designed storage facilities and conveying systems that provide tremendous flexibility in cargo movements and avoid delays to vessels and barge convoys.

Silo storage capacity
The terminal offers 205,000 tonnes of clean and secure grain silo capacity. With nine silos (some with internal separations) available for storage, customers are assured their commodities will be naturally separated. The terminal has latest generation, high precision, independent weigh scales both for discharging and loading activity.

Vessel and barge dock specifications
The terminal has two docks. The main outer dock is 240 meters long and accommodates vessels of up to 85,000 dwt loading to the maximum permitted draft of the Martin Garcia Bar and Mitre Canal.

Vessels berth starboard side to the dock, assisted in their approach by tugs. The dock has three new ship loaders capable of loading vessels at rates of up to 20,000 tonnes per day depending on commodity. The inner face of this dock is equipped for discharging barge convoys.

The secondary inner dock measures 170 meters long and is dedicated to the discharge of barge convoys. This activity is carried out on both sides of the dock. The terminal is capable of discharging barge convoys at rates averaging 10,000 to 14,000 tonnes per day depending on the type of barges and commodity. Fixed duty cycle cranes located on each dock carry out the discharging of barge convoys. The process is optimized through the selection of the most appropriate size and type of buckets according to the commodity to be discharged.

24/7 Operations
The terminal operates 24 hours/day, 7 days/week to provide barge and ship traffic with safe, fast turnarounds. The ability to undertake multiple operations simultaneously involving ocean vessels, barges, trucks and grain silos, further enables the terminal to efficiently service customers' needs.

Ongoing expansion
The terminal has a substantial area of contiguous undeveloped land and river frontage that can be developed to handle such new commodities as woodchips and round wood without impairing existing activities. A number of projects to develop this land have moved from a preliminary planning stage to a feasibility stage.
