The port now has an outer facility about 800m, a wharf of 1,300m and a berth of 3.4 hectares; its land surface is about 5.5 hectares with facilities like the fish market, parking spaces and garden. From 2004 to 2006, the wharf improvement works and construction projects for the berthing facilities and quay pier were implemented.
