BUIP owns beach-front properties with a total sea frontage of 457 meters and has a foreshore lease area of over 12.8 hectares.

With a draft at berth of 14 meters, the port can receive panamax vessels. The port is an open multi-purpose concrete pier deck supported by steel pipes with pi-type rubber fenders and other accessories. It was designed by Kawasaki Steel Corporation of Japan.

The port is International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code compliant.

Today, the port regularly receives shipments of steel coils, salt, soda ash and molasses. Its throughput volume is expected to grow very soon as locators begin to construct and operate their facilities.
