The Port of Tarragona in Spain said it has approved launch of a public the tender for the construction and operation of a cruise terminal on the Balears Wharf.
“The agreement was reached by the Port's Board of Directors and consists of a public tender for the award of a concession for the construction and operation of a public cruise terminal. This agreement changes the paradigm in the management of the Port of Tarragona cruise terminal from public management to a concession.
The minimum surface area covered by the twelve-year concession will be 5,900 m2 and it is expected to be operational from March 2022,” the port said in a statement.
The period for presenting bids will open before the end of 2021.
“The Port aims to create an innovative terminal that will become another reference for the Port and the city. The optimisation of passenger and vehicle mobility, respect for the environment and a high quality service are priorities for the Port. They are all actions included in the Agenda 2030 Sustainability Plan, which must be an integral part of this new project,” the port said.
