What's all the dark grey structure?

The grey bits are part of the gantry cranes. They open out.

AndyR:
They are 'self loading' container and cargo handling gantries, they can handle general cargo, but more specifically containers on and off the ship so there is no need for a dedicated terminal.
They also have a 'roof' over to keep out rain when the hatches are open. Not always needed but some loose cargo can be damaged by rain.
