The first phase of the Moín Container Terminal project consists of creating a 40-ha artificial island 500 m off the Caribbean coast, with 600 m of quay, two berths (with a draught of 14.5 m), a 1,500 m‑long breakwater, a 16 m‑deep channel and six super post Panamax container gantry cranes. This will allow the terminal to operate vessels in the 8,000 to 9,000 TEU range, depending on their cargo configuration. In future phases of the expansion, the depths of the berths will be increased to 16 m, enabling the terminal to operate with container vessels in the 15,000 TEU range.

The terminal will be built entirely in the sea, starting with a 12 lane entrance and a 78.6‑ha landfill area, which will be confined by a breakwater and 3.907 m dykes.
