The investment plan for the Port of Santander (Spain) until 2027, recently approved by State Ports, contemplates a joint public and private investment of 216 million euros. The aforementioned financing aims to improve port infrastructure and raise the levels of efficiency and competitiveness in the Cantabrian dock.
Of this amount, 145 million euros will come from public funds, while the remaining 71 million will be contributed by the private sector. Among the notable projects for 2024 is the completion of the Raos 9 works, for which 16 million euros will be allocated between 2023 and 2024, with a total investment of 30 million euros.
Another relevant project is the expansion of the Raos 6 dock, which will receive an investment of 19 million euros until 2025, generating a new 200-meter-long docking infrastructure, improving services in public docks for bulk and general merchandise vessels. Likewise, the expansion of the automobile silo is planned with a total investment of 33 million euros until 2025, including the addition of two floors to the current structure.
The plan also reserves funds for improvements in rail accessibility, safety and security. In addition, investments outside the Port Authority stand out, such as 15 million euros for the sulfate terminal, 10 million for the construction of pontoons in different marinas, 5 million for the fertilizer terminal and 3 million for the container terminal. The Business Plan also projects an estimated traffic of more than eight million tons for the Santander enclave in 2027.
On the other hand, the Port of Santander, under the direction of the Tax Agency, has committed to building facilities on the North Bank dock to house the maritime customs surveillance base.
