..AND LA CORUNA NEW PORT

21 years ago

Also in northern Spain, Dragados is heading up the consortium that is building the initial phases of the new port at La Coruna at a cost of € 429m.

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.

Key elements of this project include 3.4km of breakwater construction, the development of 1.6km of quay for bulk operations with a depth alongside of 16 to 22 metres, and building four berths for liquid cargo (oil) operations.
