Docking area for Ro-Pax vessels
This area, approximately 495 m long, is along the shore quay. The width of the embankment. Docking is available for four ferries at the same time, with a maximum length equal to or greater than 200 m. Two jetties, 240 m long and 20 m wide, have been secured to the shore quay for this purpose.

The opposite side, 579 m long and 37.50 m wide, extends up to the edge of the outer breakwater towards the inlet, forming an access canal 56.20 m wide and approximately 154 m long.
