This leading position is due to the importance of the port industrial cluster's raw materials needs, and to its ability to mobilize inland waterway and rail transport means with its hinterland. A dozen terminals specialize in handling all types of dry bulk, including ores, coal, scrap metal, slag, marine aggregates, cement, minerals, pellets and much more.[3] In 2025, the coal throughput for the terminal as 2.7 million tonnes.[4]
