Operational in 1961, this port currently operates at more than three million tons of cargo a year. Much of the freight it carries out is petroleum, but there are also large quantities of wood products, steel and iron. Four to five ships dock weekly here for loading and unloading and typically bring jet fuel, construction equipment and materials and cars. Viewing is free to anyone interested; there are standing areas near the shipyard where you may watch (at a safe distance) the production of loading or unloading these massive vessels.
