The Montevideo entrance channel is dredged to 11,50 m at zero datum.
-The available berths for dry cargo/containers and passengers are the following, from west to east:
- Terminal Cuenca del Plata (TCP)
- River basin
- Basin 1

is located between pier A and pier B, has three berths, the western one is 306 m long, the southern one is 494 m long and the eastern is 294 m long. The depth alongside is dredged up to 10,5 m at zero datum.
Basin 2:
located eastward of pier B, has two berths, the western one, alongside pier B, is 394 m long and the southern one is 394 m long. The depth alongside is 10,00 m at zero datum.

Originally named Obrinel and projected for wood chip exports, have extended the services to grain and grain products and will be operative by the end of 2015. The silo capacity is about 120.000 mt and the terminal will be able to load vessels up to 80.000 mt DWT and 250 m l.o.a. The main channel will be dredged up to 12,6 m at zero datum, so vessels will be able to sail on maximum draft 13,2 m, during high tides.
