The port is home to Nicaragua's largest fishing fleet and handles mainly frozen fish, shrimp, lobster, cabinet woods and limited general cargo and petroleum products, rather than containers. Shallow piers around 3.4 m and the historic lack of road access mean much freight is still lightered to Bluefields.","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/seaports/el-bluff-port-ni-elb","markdownMirror":"https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/seaports/en/el-bluff-port-ni-elb","source":null,"provider":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Freight Academy","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com"},"quickSummary":"El Bluff · (UN/LOCODE: NI ELB) · Nicaragua · Very Small · 3.4 m"}
