It has berths: one north side, with a length <strong>of</strong><br />

172 meters and one at the south side, with a<br />

length <strong>of</strong> 150 meters.<br />

aluminum sliding walls with an area <strong>of</strong> 1,865<br />

The charge was forwarded to the dock via rail<br />

cars running on a path <strong>of</strong> 683 meters long and<br />

0.914 meters (36 inches) <strong>of</strong> trail.<br />

The road forked in the spring, continuing twoway<br />

goods directly from the side <strong>of</strong> the<br />

ship towards destination stations<br />

inside the country (imports), and<br />

<strong>of</strong> these the ship (export).<br />
