SEVILLE TO COMPETE WITH CADIZ

BCT has ordered an additional ship-to-shore gantry crane, and has already started some infrastructure works in connection with the new quay.

The Chamber of Commerce of Seville is to seek a concessionaire to run its free zone once plans to expand the port are fully implemented. This will enable the capital of the province of Andalusia to compete with the port of Cadiz, which is just 120km away. Seville, which is Spain’s only river port, is spending ¢186m on upgrades encompassing a new lock and a logistics activities zone.
