Oddly enough,despite being the only deepwater port in Baja,the port did not have any mining specific conveyors,so CWRN bought the mining conveyors for the port in exchange for certain benefits from the port.
The port thus reportedly owns the conveyors-thus no rent to CWRN to store conveyors-and reportedly no other company is shipping minerals from the port-I don't know why since the entire N Baja backbone is in mining concessions but reportedly CWRN is the first to truck to the port.

I expect pesquero or Bullitt(if he is allowed to)to clear up the confusion re either using the three 10000dmt barges(pictured in pesquero's pics of the port) to store iron until ship arrives vs using a landed staging area-which the company has reported as available.
One report indicated iron is offloaded into a hopper which automatically feeds the conveyors. I don't know why conveyors would load onto barges if dredging is finished by the time the ship arrives(the barge idea apparently was due to dredging-though pesquero's pics showed a ship docked w dredgers working around it)-as expected-see pesqueros recent post.
Especially since the port conveyors can load 2000dmt/hour-so a 35000dmt ship could be loaded in 18 hours,notwithstanding port or ship loading hours.

But some of these questions may be answered by the PR expected on Monday.
