   Facility descriptions include details of berthing accommodations, petroleum and bulk handling, intermodal transfer, handling equipment, grain elevators, transit sheds, warehouses, repair plants, and other elements associated with port and waterway operations. The locations of the described facilities are depicted on five aerial photographic maps of the waterfront area.
