A previous tender, which was issued on March 1, was declared void, as neither bidder – Terminales Marítimas de Sevilla and Termisur Eurocargo y Terminal Marítima del Guadalquivir – justified either projected traffic levels or promised vessel call figures, said the port.

As part of the new conditions, any bidder will have to justify traffic projections in order to guarantee the financial viability of the terminal. The more detailed the projections, the higher this will be weighted in the final decision.
