Intersagunto ready to roll

Four contenders are competing for the opportunity to construct the container quay in the Port of Valencia’s northern extension.

The Spanish Government is set to approve Valencia Port Authority’s (APV) plan to develop a new container terminal in its northern extension area.

Spain’s Grupo Alonso is preparing a legal appeal against the decision by Valencia Port Authority to exclude it from bidding for a new multi-purpose terminal at the Port of Sagunto

Barcelona Port Authority has awarded a €5.1M contract to the Vías-Infesa UTE (ad hoc joint venture) for the second phase expansion of the railway terminal on Muelle Príncep d’Espanya. The work, which will take 13 months, will considerably expand the terminal’s rail intermodal capabilities.

A report by the World Bank states that Valencia is Spain’s least expensive port, in terms of the average costs associated with import containers, despite high stevedoring costs and the (continuing) absence of a collective bargaining agreement.

Spain’s Valencia Port Authority (APV) is set to invest €55.19M in its three ports (Valencia, Sagunto and Gandia) this year, and is looking to invest a further €177M in continuing infrastructure improvements during 2018-2020.
