Thanks, but your English needs polishing!'to the largest extent' is how we exploit, not how we transport. 

We exploit current harbour conditions to the fullest to move our goods.

Some users would like to remind OP that there are online dictionaries (e.g.iciba)that will provide the needed translation. How about feeding＂ 最大限度＂into iciba？有使用者想提醒OP，有在线的词典（例如爱词霸）会提供必要的翻译。 把＂ 最大限度＂输入iciba怎么样。

`最大限度` is a common phrase rather than a word. Both your interpretations are good and valid.

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.
