The public domain of the Port of Tarragona is the port area managed by the Port Authority, intended for maritime and logistical uses, which can be occupied by authorisations or concessions.
Via the Public Domain and Port Protection, the Port Authority manages the Port area for public or private usages, by granting authorisations or concessions that enable the occupation and operation of activities that are envisaged within the framework of the usages and activities established according to the regulations.
In addition, we manage authorisations for the provision of commercial services within the Port area.>
Port areas and infrastructures
The Port Authority is responsible for providing and managing port areas and basic infrastructure, promoting economic activity in the Port.
Management of the Port’s infrastructure and public domain will be carried out by applying the criteria of cost-effectiveness and efficiency.
Valuations
The valuation of land with a port component evaluates the economic value of a land located in port areas, considering factors such as its location, accesses, logistics services and potential use within maritime and commercial activity.

+infoINSTRUCTION 1/2025 on the exit of materials, products, and goods from the customs area of the Port of Tarragona when such exit is not carried out under a customs declaration
This Instruction replaces 1/2016, which is repealed from the date of the current signature.
Instruction 1/2025 consists of two sections (First and Second) that regulate, respectively, the outputs of "machine, materials and products" of the Port and the outputs through the new document AAT.
The first section does not change and remains identical to the previous one (1/2016). As for the second section, its content has been modified to delete everything related to the "exit notes" and incorporate the new AAT document that companies will have to use, from now on, to carry out the outflows of community goods from the Port through the Levante Sense Papers system (when it is not appropriate to use any other customs document).
Instruction 1/2025 includes an annex with clarifications to be taken into account for the correct procedure.
