Details of the 2026 Port Tour hosted by ABP on The Humber will be announced shortly.
Organised by the Port of Bilbao, the 2025 Coastlink technical visit was held at Port Santurtzi.
Historically, the port facilities were based right in the centre of Bilbao. Nowadays the port facilities are some 15 km from Bilbao city centre and extend across 400 hectares of land.
Since the commencement of extension works in 1992, the Port Authority of Bilbao has invested over €500m euros to provide the port with new land and new berths.
Bilbao is a multipurpose port, and delegates were able to see break bulk terminals, ro-ro and ferry terminals, solid bulk terminals, liquid bulk terminals and the industrial area whilst on the technical visit.
