As there was no available space in the zones surrounding the existing harbour, and the bay had a number of islands, which could be easily connected with fill soil, it was decided to form a harbour taking advantage of these islands. The planform of the new harbour is rectangular, and the perimeter walls have been used as wharves. As this fill soil is separated from the coastline, a bridge from the mainland has been built, carrying both motor vehicles and rail traffic. In view of the considerable length of the bridge, and the need to ensure navigation along the coastline, the central part of the bridge, over the navigation canal, has an elevating span. To obtain sufficient depth of water by the wharves, considerable amount of dredging has been necessary, as well as sheet piling.
