It operates as a private port operator and concessionaire of two terminals within the public-transport Port of Burgas: Burgas East-2 and Burgas West.

The company describes itself as a multifunctional port offering specialised facilities for a wide range of cargoes. Its key services include a container terminal, a grain silo complex, a Ro-Ro complex, and liquid bulk complexes (including sulphuric acid, liquefied petroleum gas and liquid fuels). The terminals are equipped with modern machinery from leading manufacturers such as Gottwald, Kalmar, Liebherr, Sennebogen, Volvo, Fuchs, Heli, Hyster and Caterpillar. Deep-water berths allow a maximum draught of 15 metres, and operations run 24/7 with year-round navigation and no sea restrictions. Multimodal connectivity is provided through road and rail links, including the BMF Dry Port Sofia, which connects sea, rail and road networks.

In 2023 it handled 794 ships and 7.2 million tonnes of cargo (49% of which was bulk cargo), with 89% of revenue coming from cargo-handling activities. It employed around 800 people and reported sales volume of BGN 119 million. The company positions itself as a preferred and reliable partner for freight forwarders and clients at regional and global level, aiming to become one of the leading port complexes in the Black Sea region.
