El Puerto dispone de una de las únicas 3 terminales especializadas en este producto en el Mediterráneo europeo
PAPER AND TIMBER PRODUCTS | The Port of Tarragona as a hub is playing an important role on an international level
The terminal, operated by international merchant EUROPORTS, is a benchmark for this type of traffic and positions Port de Tarragona as a pasta hub and paper coils. In fact, it is the only terminal specialised for this product in Spain and one of only 3 in the European Mediterranean.

Permanent and constant growth
The growth of paper paste traffic has continued since 2007.
Paper pasta reaches the Port mainly from South America and northern European countries. In recent years, traffic to paper reels and other forest products has diversified such as wooden planks.
The characteristics of the warehouses and the draught of adjacent docks make it easier for the port to be the first stop for trans-ocean transport and a point from which to distribute to other Mediterranean ports as well as to the Iberian and French hinterland, either by road or rail.
Exceptional conditions
Like all goods, the handling of paper pasta requires special operating treatment conditions, which in this particular case are given and enhanced in our Port. At the Moll of Cantabria there is a large storage space (four ships) covered for paper pasta and specialized paper reels and cranes to handle this type of commodity with minimal damage to the product. The ships are located next to a 16.5m dam and more than 400m long dock, which allows for the operation of large vessels. Additionally, the terminals have direct rail access, facilitating rail transport to the hinterland.

New opportunities in energy transition
Thanks to the joint work carried out at the ChemMed cluster and the close collaboration with the Hydrogen Valley of Catalonia, the Port of Tarragona wants to be a key logistics platform in the reception, expedition and use of new fuels and energy vectors that arise in the short, medium and long term.
