Below Rosario, this terminal
was built by Dreyfus in 1991.
The berth, of reinforced
concrete, is in relatively
deep water 250 m offshore,
with an inclined loading
conveyor belt and a viaduct
of steel lattice work on
concrete pilings connecting
it to the terminal. The berth
consists of four dolphins,
overall length 140 m with
two outlying mooring
dolphins 75 m ahead and
astern. Cape size vessels
have berthed. The loading
gallery is supported by
vertical towers stepped
alongside the dolphins and
to which 3 loading arms are
attached. The loading arms,
which are lowered/swung
out over the vessel have 25
m outreach and are fitted
with adjustable vertical
chutes at their ends, which
in turn are. Fitted with
rotating spoons making
these
units
multi-
directional. Loading is from
one belt at average 1000
TPH for grain or 750 TPH for
by products. The berth is
with a 12” vegetable oil
pipeline giving load rate 800
TPH. Grain storage at the
plant is 1.100.000 tons, oil
88.000 tons, with ample
capacity for reception of
railway wagons and trucks.
Depth alongside the berth is
reportedly 12/20 m (39/65
ft) North/South ends at
datum and clearance at
datum 24 m.
During 2005 Dreyfus built a
new vegetable oils berth, of
reinforced concrete also
relative deep water 220 m
off shore, having four
dolphins and pipe lines
connections from 6" to 14
inches
to
vessel's
connections
previously
loading commencement.
Also Dreyfus operate inside
of grain berth with river
barges that procceding from
waterway (Mercosur) Brazil,
Paraguay, Bolivia discharge
to re-embarking to ocean
