Port Authority of Bilbao approves public tender process for Central Quay container terminal

The Port Authority of Bilbao’s Board of Directors has unanimously approved the call for a public tender for the award of a concession for the construction and operation of a container terminal on the Central Quay.

The decision taken is the result of various consultation processes that point to an opportunity for growth in containerised cargo traffic in the Port of Bilbao, which has been endorsed by the express interest shown by several international operators.

Central Quay is the last large area of the Port of Bilbao for which a concession can be awarded and, in this respect, works are being taken forward in two phases.
