The false contention that the trucks will have to rumble through residential Ensenada streets has been answered before.

Temeku999's pictures show the 9km(5.5 miles)secondary Highway bordering CWRN's property/gate to connect to Baja's main superhighway-Hwy one-the Baja INTERSTATE.

Local authorities become familiar w traffic and typically have an understanding w trucking etc firms and would only spot check the trucks CWRN uses.
I have personal experience w the same in the United States-where certain agencies/groups are given permission to violate the normal traffic standards-without an official hearing and no bribery involved- its just recognized as a business necessity.

Hwy one goes straight into Ensenada with ONLY ONE TURN to the port-and I think that turn is simply an OFF RAMP onto the major secondary Hwy in Ensenada that proceeds DIRECTLY in a straight line the SHORT distance to the port from Hwy one-NO RESIDENTIAL STREETS involved and only a short straight distance on this major secondary Hwy to port.
Just google Ensenada and you can see for yourselves.

Re the lay down yard,until the dredging is finished(in December? or early Jan) to allow 75000 ton ships and the mineral terminal is optimized,they will be using 10000 ton barges to transfer to the 35000 ton ship,as you yourself have pointed out- apparently in lieu of a lay down yard.

This is an inefficiency but it is not controlling/substantial.
When I researched deep water ports,the 2nd busiest port in the world(I believe it was-certainly in the top 10 busiest)does this for most of their shipping because their port is much shallower than Ensenadas port-only 7 meters deep. That second busiest world port is planning to move to offshore islands and dredge to the same depth Ensenada is dredging to).
