A 30% discount will be applied if the following criteria are met: loading and unloading grain cargo; bulk and general (bags and big bags) grain cargo; carrying out cargo operations at the berths located in the seaport.

The USPA underlines that the discounts established for the rates of port dues do not apply to the administration fee.
