The ore terminal is on the left. You can see the stocks of ore and the conveyor belts. In the centre, with the ship in it, is South Killingholme Haven. To the right, with the blue ships, is an inner dock, accessed by a sea lock. The size of ships entering the dock is limited by the size of this lock. Between the inner dock and the River Humber is an oil storage depot. A railway runs in from bottom left and splits into several branches. This industrial area contrasts sharply with the peaceful farmland on the north bank of the Humber.
