The port functions essentially as the private terminal of Morton Bahamas Limited, which exports more than a million tonnes of solar salt a year from vast evaporation ponds via a conveyor belt to a loading jetty in Man-of-War Bay. Bulk carriers berth and load directly; there is no container, breakbulk or reefer handling to speak of.
