Likewise, emphasis was placed on the importance of planning port operations according to the number of vessels performing maneuvers, the amount of cargo to be moved, and the dimensions of the ship, as well as the placement of deadweights as anchoring points closer to the pier platform, in order to facilitate cargo loading, maritime safety inspections, pre-departure checks, and legal visits.

In this way, the Great Venezuela Transport Mission and INEA work for the development of the aquatic sector, following the guidelines issued by our Constitutional President Nicolás Maduro Moros.
