Dock is situated in an agricultural zone that produces great volumes
of all type of grains, such as: Wheat, Corn, Soybean,
Sunflower and its by- products.
Its
proximity to these zones allows savings in the logistics of
transport and handling, thus contributing to a cost effective
positioning of these commodities in the port.
In
addition the terminal counts with the facilities necessary to
prepare / sample and condition grains, allowing an operation of reception and elevation to

IN BASIN
A
Gantry type Crane allows us to unload barges with a rate of 300 Tns
hour. The dimensions of the bay allow the dockage of a convoy of
barges.
A direct
connection by conveyor belt and weight scale from the gantry crane
towards the grain cells has been projected.

Using
de two conveyors we can reach 1,100 Tns per hour rate.
The conveyors are able to move on the berth and allow
simultaneous loading of 2 different holds at a time of a bulk
carrier. Trimming and topping off can be carried out without the
need of moving the vessel.
The loaded volumes are controlled by means of two bonded
weight scales enabling to ascertain the exact weight loaded per
hold.
The
drying and conditioning plant is connected to the loading conveyors
with a covered conveyor belt of
1,300 mts length with a capacity of 1,000 tns./hr.
