Its pier exceeds 400 m but is geared to bulk and breakbulk rather than containers. The port's cargo profile reflects the local economy: exports of salt, grain, fish products, tobacco, meat products and vegetable oils, with imports of fertiliser and machinery. Salt production is an important local industry and a steady source of traffic.
