Port of Barcelona: New port governance model necessary

A new strategic framework of the port system is essential to continue creating prosperity according to Mercè Conesa, president of the Port of Barcelona.

She asked Puertos del Estado to speed up preparations for a new strategic framework and pointed out the port needs “a new governance model that will allow us to have the same tools as other European ports”.

Speaking at a ceremony celebrating the 150^th anniversary of the port, she emphasised the importance of fast and efficient hinterland connections to respond to the needs of the logistics chain, energy transition and facing up to digital transition as a disruptive element of service improvement.
