Robust Mooring & Equipment
The site is equipped with four 25-tonne mooring bollards and two mooring/breasting dolphins, ensuring secure berthing for a range of vessel sizes and requirements.
Flexible Capacity
Handles barge sizes from 23 metres (75 ft) wide by 76 metres (250 ft) long, up to 31 metres (100 ft) wide by 122 metres (400 ft) long, with drafts up to 21 feet. Ready for both standard and specialized industrial shipments.
