AVEIRO TO INVEST IN DRY AND LIQUID BULK

The dominance of Maersk can be seen in figures released by Algeciras port authority covering January and February 2005 during which throughput at the port amounted to 501,514 TEUs.

Portugal’s fifth largest port, Aveiro, is to invest ¢21m this year to be spent partially on dredging and also on work associated with the construction of a bulk solids and a bulk liquids terminal. In addition, some money will be spent on implementing the third phase of the port ring road. Once complete, Aveiro will have 750 metres of quay for the handling of dry bulk and three berths for liquid bulk traffic.
