The bulk sugar terminals have a combined storage capacity of about 2.5 million tonnes of raw sugar and are designed specifically for the receipt, storage and out-loading of raw sugar to domestic and export markets.

The technology installed at the terminals enables a 30,000 tonne cargo ship to be loaded in less than a day, compared with several weeks when sugar was shipped in jute bags.
