On October 15, 2009 the workers started to pave this area with the operational pavement (wear-proof combination of cement, asphalt and concrete), called  “Densiphalt”. At the landside part of the terminal the metal structures for refrigerated racking system are being mounted. New transformer substations Nr.1 and Nr. 2 have been constructed.
