How should I interpret 最大限度 in 我们最大限度地利用现有港口条件运货? 我们最大限度地利用现有港口条件运货。


I think I should treat 最大限度地 as one word, namely 'maximally‘. Does that fit?

Rough draft; not good English:


  We maximally exploit current harbour conditions transport goods.


Final interpretation:


  We make maximum use of the currently existing harbour conditions to transport goods.
We exploit the current harbour conditions transport goods to the largest extent.
Here "to the largest extent" means 最大限度地.
