The Port of Tarragona is striving in various ways to reaffirm its position as a strategic location in the Mediterranean.
On the one hand, its powerful activity, coupled with its geo-strategic position, make the Port a determining player in developing the commerce of its hinterland, and at the same time of Europe, and consequently also on an international scale.
Without losing sight of the competitiveness that the Port system has to offer, the Port of Tarragona provides a number of other valuable activities that go beyond its historical role as a logistical platform for loading/unloading and storage.
For this reason, and in view of the way current markets, services and technologies are evolving, the Port faces challenges in order to constantly readapt and update its infrastructures - and processes - so that they can respond to the new requirements of the sector, both in the area of logistics and in the legal and technological framework.
The Master Plan is a fundamental instrument for the orderly planning of the development and expansion of a port. It establishes the main guidelines for the port's growth, which are then detailed during the project draughting phase, in conjunction with the other institutional actors in its context.
The Port of Tarragona Infrastructure Master Plan envisages a series of concrete actions that will allow it to adapt appropriately to the evolution of traffic through the construction of new infrastructure projects within a specific time horizon of 15 to 20 years.
The president of the Port welcomed this last step in the plan with the following words: "This is a fundamental management instrument for the development of the Port that, in addition to including the most appropriate growth options and a strategic environmental assessment, contains feasibility analyses and economic-financial studies to help it face up to the challenges of the future with a guarantee of success".
The ZAL is designed mainly for activities closely linked to maritime traffic and value added products.
