Its backbone is dry bulk: iron ore at around 25 million tonnes and coal at roughly 20 million tonnes together make up more than half of an annual throughput that reached 82.6 million tonnes in 2024/25. Containers are the fast-growing segment, with about 1.2 million TEU handled in the same year through a terminal served by post-Panamax cranes and reach stackers.
