The main wharf (“ferry terminal”) is built on piles, therefore a weight limitation for working with port handling equipment must be kept in mind.
Port Handling Equipment
No shore based cargo handling equipment is positioned in the port. Vessel loading / unloading is done manually/manpower.

Within the direct port area, no storage facilities are available.
