Safety and self-protection

The Port of Tarragona has a Self-Protection Plan (PAU) integrated into its security and emergency management strategy, which establishes clear protocols to respond to risk situations and coordinate intervention teams. This plan includes an emergency room and has been presented in conferences aimed at the port community and stakeholders, where, based on real simulations, the different bodies have explained their actions and needs, reinforcing operational cooperation between agents involved in emergency management. The Port is considered a pioneer in these processes within the state port system, with a comprehensive approach that promotes efficiency, sustainability and the protection of people and infrastructures.

In addition, the Port is committed to technological innovation as part of its security and self-protection policy, including the use of drones for support and surveillance tasks that complement emergency management and the detection of possible risks such as gases or complex incidents. These tools not only expand the capacity to act within the port enclosure, but also strengthen cooperation between bodies and their response to emergency situations, thus consolidating an updated and proactive safety culture.

Use of drons in the Port

Port Tarragona is consolidated as a pioneering port and state reference in the use of drones, being the first port of general interest with its own unit, operational since 2021 and with recurring flights since 2023. It has a advanced fleet of drones, trained pilots and real-time image integration systems in control and emergency centers. In addition, it acts as a test bench for innovation with Ports 4.0 projects. This leadership was reinforced in November 2025, when Puertos del Estado organized in Tarragona the first day on the use of drones in the port system of general interest.

Exciting museographic thanks to advanced audiovisual and interactive media

Architecture and exhibition design

On Saturday, July 17, 2021, the Port of Tarragona inaugurated the new Port Museum, a renovated space with a modern and immersive museographic offer that, through advanced technological elements, allows us to know the past and present of the maritime world. The Port of Tarragona Museum preserves and disseminates the maritime and port heritage, making it available to the publicwho visits it.

The Museum is part of the Register of Museums of the Generalitat de Catalunya, the Network of Museums of the regions of Tarragona and Terres de l'Ebre, the System of the Museum of Science and Technology of Catalonia, the Sea of Museums and the Association of Maritime Museums of the Mediterranean.

It is an ideal building to exhibit the port heritage fund. Given the large volume of most of the pieces exhibited, the breadth of space offered by this old warehouse of goods, allows us to propose an integrative discourse with the objects.

The citizen and cultural use in which the Port has specialised the Costa Wharf guarantees the location of this space which, over time, has been recovering and safeguarding the maritime and port heritage of our coast.

We present a journey through the history of the port through time, since the Romans disembarked there until today. Life on the docks, types of fishing, sports activities, boats and goods linked to our sea are also represented.
