The amount of goods loaded here grows year after year, but the enormous quantities of aluminum for the Alcoa factory (formerly Inespal), of steel and scrap for the Arcelor Mittal factory and of zinc for the Asturiana factory are of special interest. of Zinc, belonging to Xstrata, that land here every year.
