Safety and prevention
Safety and prevention in the broadest sense of the word is a very important element for the dynamics of the Port of Tarragona, and it always enjoys excellent collaboration from the companies of the Port community and the authorities involved, with the aim of making the Port a more protected place.
One of the functions of the Tarragona Port Authority is to provide general emergency prevention and control services, in the terms established by the regulations on civil protection, in collaboration with other authorities with competency in civil protection, and fire prevention and extinguishing. In this context, on October 14th 2016 the TPA signed a collaboration agreement with the Tarragona Civil Protection Volunteers Association for the provision of services by the latter, within the service area of the Port, in accordance with its functions in the field of Port Civil Protection.
