General Information about the Port
The Port of Barcelona (Puerto de Barcelona) has a 2000-year
history and great contemporary commercial importance as one
of Europe's major ports in the Mediterranean, as well as
being Catalonia's largest port, tying with Tarragona.
It is also Spain's third and Europe's ninth
largest Container port, with a trade volume of 3.32 million
TEUs in 2019.
The port is managed by the Port Authority of Barcelona. Its
7.86 km2 (3 sq mi) are divided into three zones: Port
Vell (the Old Port), the commercial/industrial port, and the
logistics port (Barcelona Free Port).
This is not the only port in Barcelona, as there are also
two additional yacht harbors/marinas: Port Olimpic and Port
Fòrum Sant Adrià to the north.

General Information about the Port
In common with much of Western Europe, the older traditional
industries in Spain, such as textiles, declined in the face
of foreign competition. The surviving companies closed their
factories in the city or along the rivers, leaving industrial
wastelands or abandoned workers' colonies.
In many cases within Spain, these industries moved to
the zona Franca. The free trade zone is located within the
port area, not far away from downtown Barcelona, and is easy
to access. It is 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) away from
the Barcelona International Airport and connected via highway
and railway.

Barcelona before the Port
Barcelona began life as a settlement on a gentle slope
leading down to the sea, which allowed it to expand
unimpeded.
However, the sea-level city had little to attract
shipping, as it did not have a natural harbour like
Genoa's Porto Vecchio or Marseille.
The coastal waters also generated a constant build-up
of sand. The coastal area needed protection and deeper
waters to provide access for ships and goods.
The city's inhabitants understood the importance of
having a port and battled to create one.

The medieval shipyards - S. XIV
The idea of a royal shipyard was
conceived under Pedro III and
construction work began.
Building was halted by storms and
resumed in 1378 as part of the
City of Barcelona’s efforts to win
its way into King Pedro IV’s good
graces.
The result was the Drassanes
shipyards (now home to the
Maritime Museum), which reflected
the city’s desire to develop much-
needed maritime commerce.
The Industrial Revolution - S. XIX
Over the course of the century, most sailing
ships were replaced by steam-powered vessels.
This shift dramatically improved ship speeds
(as much as 5 to 6 knots) and size (maximum
loads of up to 10,000 tons) but also resulted
in greater specialisation.
On December 11th 1868, the Ministry of Public
Works approved the creation of the Port Works
Committee, which comprised merchants, ship
owners and sailors. The first meeting of the
Works Committee approved the construction of
the first north-south wharf, which was built
between 1877 and 1882 on the site of the
current Barcelona wharf.

Infrastructure stagnates
1913 – 1977
For a long time, traffic came
to a virtual standstill
because of the instability
caused by two World Wars, the
Spanish Civil War and General
Franco's 40-year dictatorship.
Starting in 1958 the expansion
to the south and in 1966 began
the construction of an inland
port with the dredging of the
Llobregat delta area and an
increase of the port area of
250 hectares.

Mission & Vision of the Port and Port Values
The Barcelona Port Authority has established its mission as
an organisation, its vision -that is, what it aspires to be
in future- and the values that must guide its behaviour as an
institution. The entire organisation strives day after day to
achieve these goals:
Mission To lead the development of the Port of Barcelona, to
generate and manage infrastructures and to guarantee reliable
services in order to contribute to clients' competitiveness
and create value for society at large.
Vision
Barcelona: Europe's port solution in the Mediterranean
Values
1 - Appreciation for and commitment to people,
2 - Ethical and professional management,
3 - Client orientation,
4 - Social responsibility,
5 – Innovation,

Port Ownership and Management Type
The Spanish State Port System is composed of 46 ports of
general interest, managed by 28 Port authorities, whose
coordination and efficiency control corresponds to the Ports
of the State company, a body under the Ministry of Public
Works that is responsible for the execution of the
Government's ports policy.
Port activity and maritime transport contribute 20% to the
GDP of the transport sector. The Law provides the Spanish
port system with the necessary instruments to improve its
competitive position in an open and globalized market,
establishing a management autonomy regime for the Port
Authorities, which must exercise their activity with business
criteria.
Spanish Port Authority Model
Within this framework, it is intended that the management of
ports of general interest respond to the so-called "landlord"
model, in which the Port Authority is limited to being a
provider of infrastructure and port land and to regulate the
use of this public domain, while the services are mainly
provided by private operators under authorization or
concession regime.

In November 1992, the central body Ports of the State was
created by the Spanish government which brought the end to
the Autonomous (PUBLIC/Private Port) Port of Barcelona. Since
then the port is operated by Barcelona Port Authority.
Barcelona Port Authority (APB) is the governing body
responsible for managing the Port of Barcelona. It reports to
the Spanish National Ports and Harbour Authority, which
implements government port policy.
Ports of the State is a Stated-owned Company, responsible for
the management of state-owned ports. The company executes the
port policy of the Government and coordinates and controls
the efficiency of the port system, made up of 28 Port
authorities that manage the 46 ports of general interest.
This company, along with ENAIRE, exists for a constititional
mandate in Article 149, which grants the State the exclusive
competence of ports and airports.

AP Bilbao AP Cartagena AP Castellón
AP Ceuta AP Ferrol-S.Cibrao AP Gijón
AP Huelva AP Bahía de Algeciras
AP Bahía de Cádiz AP Las Palmas AP Málaga
AP Marín y Ría de Pontevedra AP Melilla
AP Motril AP Pasajes AP Santa Cruz de

Under the provisions of Spanish Law 33/2010 of 5 August 2010,
amending Law 48/2003 of 26 November 2003 on the financial and
services regime for ports of general interest, the APB is
required to fulfill the following functions:
- Providing general port services; authorising and monitoring
basic port services,
- Managing the port service area and port use,
- Planning, design, construction, maintenance and operations
pertaining to works, port services and navigational aids,
- Managing the public port area and area covered by the
navigational aids,
- Managing the port's financial assets and resources,
- Promoting industrial and commercial activities linked to
maritime transport and port traffic,
- Coordinating operations involving different transport modes
within the port precinct,

Human Resource Strategies
Staff strategy
All of the annual objectives set in the Staff plan 2017-
2020 were achieved during 2018. The organisation's staff
policy is based, inter alia, on selecting high-potential and
performance personnel; differential performance as a basis
for professional development; the momentum of more horizontal
structures that allow talent to emerge; promoting the healthy
company, and improving the key processes that define the
relationship between people and the company in the long term.
Structure, equality and diversity
The organisation's workforce has the following
characteristics:
 The proportion of men to women is 70% / 30%,
 The majority age range of workers is 51 to 60 years.
 The greatest number of workers are in the category of
people with at least 30 years' service at the Port Authority.

Equality and diversity
The Standing Committee for Equality registered no incidents
related to equality and/or harassment in 2018. Efforts
continued to implement actions under the 2017-2019 Equality
Plan and to publicise this via the Port's website along with
a revision of measures in accordance with labour regulations.
Social Benefits
In compliance with the instructions of Puertos del Estado, as
indicated by the Executive Committee of the Inter-ministerial
Commission on Remuneration (CECIR), the organisation had cut
social fund contributions by 75% over the past three years,
therefore its use was very limited.
Furthermore, in accordance with Law 6/2018 of 3 July 2018 on
the General State Budget for 2018, the contributions by the
promoter of the pension plan for employees was suspended for
the entire year.

Training
A total of 346 training activities were carried out in 2018,
aimed at worker groups and individual employees,
(1) total number of students who completed training
activities
(2) number of hours for each activity per number of students
who completed activities
(3) these data correspond to training activities started and
finished in 2018. However it is worth pointing out that 30
training activities that started in 2016 and 2017 were
completed in 2018 and that 32 training activities that were
started remain open and are scheduled for completion in 2019
and/or 2020.

The number of students increased this year, in spite of only
a small decrease in the number of training activities.
Satisfaction levels were also up and remain above 8.5 out of
10 across the board.
Specific Training Plan
The actions under this plan were significant in 2018 and
include targeted actions for a particular area, department or
section, for a particular worker or for specific profiles.
The plan excludes specific actions which, owing to their
nature, personality and volume, have their own training plan:
those aimed at the Port Police; others linked to the skills
management system; sustainability; managerial development;
and those related to language learning.
Digital Skills and Innovation Training Plan
Following the migration of all the email addresses in the
organisation, there was a considerable increase in this
plan's activity, with sessions held to publicise the new
tool. The sessions were coordinated with the entire migration
process and led by Information Systems.

Vocational Training Plan
Work continued with the vocational training plan
defined jointly with the Institute of Public
Safety of Catalonia. The plan, designed for a
roll-out over four years, from 2015-2018, has
now ended and involved nine training actions performed with
eight training groups each (72 training groups), a total of
118 students and more than 9,700 training hours.
The other training plans remained active as every year and
various training activities were performed.
Intermodal Transport
This training centre, of which the Port of Barcelona is a
shareholder, received 3,100 people from 45 different
countries this year. 1,300 of these people participated in
training courses and 1,800 went on a technical visit to the
Port of Barcelona.

A total of 87 training activities were carried out, on the
following topics:
 maritime intermodality and Motorways of the Sea,
 rail intermodality,
 grouping and consolidation centres,
 port operations,
 single window,
Furthermore, the European School was the fundamental axis of
two training projects:
Train at the Port, led by the Steering Council for the
Promotion of the Port Community, received 434 Transport and
Logistics and International Trade students from the
metropolitan area of Barcelona.
TranslogMed, begun by the School in 2018, aims to train
people who can develop door-to-door logistics chains based on
Motorways of the Sea between Mediterranean ports. Conferences
were held in Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria along with courses
with 50 participants from these three countries.

Strategic Plans
The Port’s growth must be based on criteria of
economic, social and environmental
sustainability that foster its competitiveness
in the expanded hinterland”, Third Strategic
Plan of the Port of Barcelona
The president:
One of the strategic pillars of the Port of Barcelona is to
guarantee its sustainable growth, in line with the United
Nations Global Compact and 17 Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs), to which we are firmly committed.
This means enhancing the economic, social and environmental
value that our infrastructure provides to society: a
contribution on three levels that the Port Community generates
collectively, with all the many different actors and
professional profiles that it entails.

In addition to developing the various European projects that
the Port is leading to promote natural gas as a mobility fuel
for boats, trucks and terminal machinery, the Port and several
partners (including ATEC, ACCIÓ and Naturgy) have promoted the
RePort project. This is an important initiative to promote
natural gas in freight transport, with the engine overhauling
of 26 trucks to the dual system (diesel and gas).
Strategic alliances with international ports to further reduce
polluting emissions and the decarbonisation of maritime
transport has been another major line of action. The World
Ports Sustainability Programme, promoted by the International
Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH), and the World Ports
Climate Action Programme (WPCAP), are the two networks in which
the Port of Barcelona has been actively integrated to combine
effort in the field of environmental sustainability.
Strategic Plans

The Port of Barcelona launched the Third Strategic Plan for
the purpose of becoming the main logistics node in southern
Europe and the Mediterranean, while also serving as a
centre for concentrating and distributing loads.
The mission, vision and strategic objective of the Port of
Barcelona are set forth in this Strategic Plan.
The vision of the Port de Barcelona, which specifies where
the Port wants to be in the near future, is defined by the
motto: “Barcelona, the European port solution in the
Mediterranean”.
Strategic Plans

The strategic aim of the Port of Barcelona, which carries
out its vision, is “to be the top Euroregional distribution
centre on the Mediterranean, in competition with the ports
of northern Europe”. Achieving this goal requires:
›› Transforming the Port of Barcelona into a centre for
concentrating, distributing and processing cargo with a more
extensive hinterland than before,
›› Developing a “networked port” by organising multimodal
transport corridors and creating internal maritime terminals
›› Fostering alternative modes of transport to road haulage,
especially rail transport and short sea shipping lines,
›› I mproving port operations and cutting their cost to be
more competitive than other ports in the circulation of
goods,
›› Offering shippers a new value proposition with the full
involvement of the entire Port Community.
Strategic Plans

The strategic objectives that must strengthen the Port of
Barcelona’s position and progress to achieve its vision in
terms of sustainability include:
›› OE9: Improving accessibility and mobility,
›› OE10: Fostering intermodality,
›› OE11: Growing sustainably,
›› OE12: Improving port-city integration,
›› OE13: Being one of the main pools of the nautical
industry in the Mediterranean,
Strategic Plans

CSR & Sustainability Actions (co-orporate social
responsibility)
In terms of employment, the organisations of the Barcelona
Port Community directly and indirectly generate a total of
41,200 jobs. This accounts for 1.1% of all employment in
Catalonia.
It is complex to calculate exactly how many people work at
the Port of Barcelona, given the high number of companies,
agencies and public administrations operating there. Figures
on the jobs created directly by the Port are extrapolated
from data provided by the Port Community organisations that
responded to the survey question about the number of
employees. The organisations for which information is
available employ 6,446 people. Assuming a total of 500
organisations, linear extrapolation leads to an order of
magnitude of 42,973 employees.
According to the estimates of the Port Authority, about 650
people employed by different public administrations are
dedicated to port services

responsibility)
If we analyse the typical job at the organisations of the Port
of Barcelona, we see that there is a high number of people
employed with a permanent fulltime work contract, with men
predominating in the various occupations.
The proportion of employees with a permanent work contract is
80.3%, a 4.5% drop compared to 2017.
Over 91% (91.4%) of the employees are covered by collective
agreements, 2.2% less than the year before.Over 76% (76.9%) of
the workers have full-time contracts. This represents a 10.8%
drop compared to 2017. Therefore, the increased employment is
not full-time.
With regard to distribution by gender, most sectors and
organisations have a clear predominance of men on staff. Women
accounted for 29.3% of the workforce, a figure that has been
declining in the last two years, although not significantly

responsibility)
The Port of Barcelona counts the number of healthcare and
accidents at work that occur in different port areas (the
commercial port, the Port Vell and the ZAL), which involve
the Port Police and are attended by the Medical Emergencies
System (SEM ) or by a FREMAP ambulance
There was a decrease in workplace accidents during the
period studied. However, the number of medical emergencies
rose significantly. Of the Port Community organisations
that responded to the survey, 54.7% had no accidents in
2018. This is higher than in 2017, which shows good
behaviour in this regard. The organisations that reported
accidents (45.3%) mostly experienced them within the
company

responsibility)
Certification of occupation risk prevention systems
Ninety-six per cent (96%) of the organisations that responded
to the survey have an occupational hazard prevention
department, whether it is their own, belonging to a third
party or shared jointly with other organisations. The year
before, the proportion was 93.6%. The type of services
remained the same as in 2017, as shown in the graph.
Over 42% (42.7%) of the organisations surveyed have certified
occupational hazard prevention management systems. Of these,
29.3% have occupational health and safety management systems
(OHSAS 18001) certified by an independent inspector. This is
slightly less than the previous year, when 31.7% of the
organisations that followed the Sectoral Sustainability Plan
had such systems. All organisations with their own prevention
service perform the corresponding statutory or legal audits.

responsibility)
General data on training
Twenty-eight per cent (28%) of the organisations that
responded to the survey had a training committee for the
company and workers. In the previous year, 20.6% of the
organisations had one.
During 2018, the organisations held a total of 183,151 hours
of training combined. The annual average was 28.4 hours per
employee, an investment in training time considerably higher
than 2017, when the average was 19.6.
Regarding the distribution of training hours, 68.4% went to
professional and personal skills, 14.5% to preventing
occupational hazards and 17.1% to other subjects

Forma’t al Port
This project is based on a public-private partnership between
different organisations in order to bring the Port of
Barcelona and the Port Community closer to students of higher
level education (CFGS) in Transport and Logistics (27%)
and International Trade (73%) of the Port’s area of
influence.
This project teaches students about the professions of the
logistics sector and especially the maritime activity and
intermodal transport. The result is better technical
preparation that will have an impact on the employability
index and is aimed at improving logistics chains and
sustainability by disseminating the European Union’s policy
on the transport of goods and the environment.
responsibility)

The objectives of the project include:
 Teaching the students about the Port of Barcelona, its
infrastructure, logistical equipment and means of transport
operating there,
 Providing companies in the sector with a space to inform
others of the features of their activity and the professional
profiles they need to develop properly,
 Working together to create a framework for dialogue and
exchange between companies in the logistics sector and
training centres to promote the sector’s development,
 Helping companies to align their training needs with
curricula designed and taught at training centres,
 Motivating companies to hire dual training students and/or
interns with the support necessary to receive them under the
best conditions,
 Offering students the tools and knowledge necessary to
quantify the environmental impact of transport operations,
 Make the transport sector attractive to students.
responsibility)

Students have the opportunity to experience operations that
take place in the ports and on board the ship first-hand. The
documentation distributed during the training is in English
in order to familiarise students with the language.
In addition, 30% of the classes are also taught in English
and students are encouraged to make their presentations in
the language. In 2018, Forma’t al Port involved 434 students
coming from 13 public and private secondary schools in
Barcelona, El Prat de Llobregat, Cerdanyola del Vallès and
Santa Perpètua de la Mogoda.

DIVERSITY AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES
Equal opportunities are one of the universal principles by
which the Port Community abides in order to ensure they are
applied among the organisations and the people working for
them
36% ORGANISATIONS HAVE EQUALITY PLANS
29.3% FEMALE EMPLOYEES
19.1% WOMEN ON BOARDS OF DIRECTORS
22% WOMEN ON STEERING COMMITTEES
53.3% ORGANISATIONS HAVE PROTOCOLS AGAINST HARASSMENT
Prevention of discrimination
Over 53% (53.3%) of the participating organisations have a
policy against sexual harassment and/or harassment for
reason of sex, compared to 44.4% the previous year, showing
a significant increase in the number of organisations
committed to the problem.

Employment of people with disabilities
The Law on the Social Integration of the Disabled (LISMI),
aimed at insertion of people with disabilities into the
workforce, establishes a minimum number of employees with
some sort of disability for companies with over 50
employees: 2% for the private sector and 5% for the public
sector. On average, 1.9% of the workers of the organisations
that followed the Sectoral Sustainability Plan have some
kind of disability (0.3%).
1.9 % EMPLOYED PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
2 % EMPLOYED PEOPLE AT RISK OF EXCLUSION
37.3 % ORGANISATIONS CONDUCT SURVEYS ON THE
WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENT

COMPLAINTS ABOUT LABOUR PRACTICES
Having a channel to address complaints about non-compliance
with labour regulations is a commitment to workers and looks
after their well-being.
Channel for complaints about non-compliance with labour
regulations
Sixty per cent (60%) of the organisations have established
channels for complaints about breaches of labour regulations,
a 4.4% increase compared to 2017, when it was 55.6%.
Depending on the company, these channels may be works
councils, the staff delegate, the human resources department
or a specific space on the corporate intranet.
Complaints resolved
Seven complaints were channelled through these formal
reporting mechanisms and five of them were resolved within
the same year

Cargo Handling Equipments
APM Terminals Barcelona

The Port of Barcelona’s Muelle Sur Container Terminal is 100%
owned by APM Terminals and has an annual throughput capacity
of 2.3 million TEU. It is located on the Mediterranean Coast
in the Catalan Region of Spain, in Barcelona, Spain’s second-
largest city.
Barcelona’s hinterland accounts for 80% of the ports total
cargo volume. A large variety of industries are located in
the hinterland, including automotive, textile, chemical and
pharmaceuticals. It is benefits from close proximity to the
ZAL – Logistics Activities Zone – and the duty-free area,
Consorcio de la Zona Franca. Leading international brands
including Ikea, Decathlon, Lidl, Amazon, Schneider Electric,
Honda Logistics, Inditex, and Mango have also located their
distribution centers in Barcelona.
The terminal has the benefit of being located on the entrance
canal to the port. It has its own on-dock rail connection,
immediate access to the motorway network and automated gate
access for optimum intermodal efficiency. Customs offices are
also located inside the terminal to optimise the logistics
process.

Rail Facilities: APM Terminals Barcelona offer direct
connections to inland container terminals in Zaragoza and
Madrid using dedicated shuttle trains. These are ideally
positioned close to the distributions centres of large

Port Statistics & Port Services

The Port of Barcelona achieved a turnover of € 172 million in
2019, very similar to the 2018 result, when it closed with €
174 million. This income stability was achieved despite the
10% reduction in cargo fees, which represent one of the Port's
main sources of revenue, leading to a reduction in income of
approximately € 4.5 million.
The revenue consolidation was also achieved in the
organisation's capacity to generate resources (cash flow),
which, at € 97 million in 2019, prepares the Port of Barcelona
to comfortably meet future challenges and cover its investment
needs.
Over the last year, the Port of Barcelona has significantly
reduced its debt (-9%), which now stands at € 179 million and
represents only 12% of equity. Investments also increased 21%
during the financial year, amounting to € 60 million.

The Port of Barcelona made € 44 million in profit,
representing a fall of 18% (compared to 54 million in 2018).
This drop is due to the increase in non-recurring expenses.
Over the last year the organisation had to perform general
dredging of the Port, which cost € 4.3 million and has to be
done every five years; a provision of more than € 5 million
was established to cover potential litigation risks; and the
€ 1.3 million contribution to the Interport Compensation
Fund increased by 26% to meet the needs of the 'Ports 4.0'
capital fund for attracting and facilitating the application
of talent and entrepreneurship in the logistics and port
sector in the technological field.

Traffic results
Although globally 2019 was marked by a series of uncertainties
and disruptions that led to a slowdown in international trade,
it was a year of consolidation for the Port of Barcelona. Total
traffic - covering all types of cargo - was € 67.7 million
tonnes, very close to the 67.8 million achieved during the
previous financial year.
It should be noted that more than 35 million tonnes correspond
to traffic with the port's hinterland, i.e. real goods trade
excluding transshipments and tare weights. Despite the
stagnation in certain segments, in 2019 hinterland traffic
maintained the record figure achieved in 2018.
Containers, dry bulk and cars, however, closed the year on a
negative note. Container traffic totalled 3.32 million TEUs
moved, down 3.2% year on year. Even so, it was the second best
year in the history of the Port of Barcelona in terms of
containers.

Asia, the most dynamic market
Asia is the main continent of origin and destination of the
containers channelled by the Port, with 42% of exports and 75%
of imports. China is consolidating its position as our leading
trading partner, receiving 11% of export containers and sending
42% of our import units. However, the Port of Barcelona is
working with a wide variety of markets. Some of the most
dynamic countries in terms of trade with the Port are: Egypt
(11.1%), Turkey (10.5%) and Saudi Arabia (9.6%).
Dry bulk totalled 4.1 million tonnes and was affected by the
decline in cement exports, which began in 2018. Vehicle trade
closed on a negative note for the second consecutive year at
778,000 units (down 4%), due to several factors that affected
both transit (-17%) and exports (-3%). Imports were up 0.1%
year on year.

Liquid bulk achieved a record high for the Port of Barcelona,
totalling 16.1 million tonnes, a year-on-year increase of 5.3%.
This record figure was caused both by good figures for transits
and imports, strengthening the role of the port infrastructure
as a hub for energy products from the Mediterranean and
southern Europe.
56% of cruise passengers are in turnaround
In 2019, the Port of Barcelona received 4.6 million passengers
(+3%), of which 1.49 million were regular ferry line passengers
(+3%) and 3.14 million were cruise-goers (+3%). It is worth
noting the increase in two types of cruise passengers that have
a significant economic impact on the city: those in turnaround
(starting and ending their route in Barcelona) and those that
arrive in the low season.
Turnaround cruise passengers (+5%), who make the largest
economic contribution to the city and its surrounding area,
grew considerably more than those in transit (+1%). At present,
56% of all cruise passengers passing through the Port of
Barcelona are in turnaround.

An emission-neutral port
The Port of Barcelona is making a firm commitment to
sustainability and will invest a great deal of its economic
and human resources in this new decade developing projects
related to the current climate emergency. Europe has set out
on a path to become the first climate-neutral continent in
2050, a Green Deal of which the Port of Barcelona very much
wants to be a part.
The Wharf Electrification Action Plan is one of the key
projects under way to make the port emission-neutral, although
it is not the only one. The push towards intermodality, a
strategy launched several years ago, remains one of the
institution's goals as it promotes more sustainable and less
polluting modes of transport.

In this connection, it maintained the positive momentum in
terms of goods transported by short sea shipping services in
2019, accounting for over 410,000 intermodal transport units
(ITU), marking a 0.5% increase.
Rail transport also remained at 2018 levels, clocking up 13%
for containers and 35.5% for vehicles. This makes it
possible to reduce the emissions from port activity and
improve the air quality of the surrounding area. Indeed,
rail services at the Port of Barcelona saved 50,000 tonnes
of CO2 in 2019.

Rail traffic
The Port of Barcelona is promoting the rail mode as a way of
achieving more efficient and 'cleaner' logistics chains; in
2018 its rail services saved a total of 55,200 tonnes of CO2.
During this financial year, a total of 262,379 TEU (+8%) and
13.3% of all containers handled entered or left the port
facilities by train, as well as 263,953 vehicles (+11%),
increasing the rail share of this product to 36.2%.
Most of the rail traffic of vehicles involved unloading, with
235,828 units for export by sea (+9%), and 28,125 TEU (+28%)
vehicles for export to the hinterland, mostly to European
destinations using UIC gauge tracks.

Traffic of containers and vehicles

Short Sea Shipping
In the area of short sea shipping, total Ro-Ro traffic
(carried on truck, platform or trailer) stood at 407,961 ITU
(intermodal transport units), a 3.7% increase year on year.
Virtually two thirds of the total, 253,918 ITU, correspond to
Spanish traffic with the Balearics and Canary Islands, which
is increasing constantly.
Meanwhile, the Motorways of the Sea - regular lines
connecting Barcelona with various destinations in Italy and
North Africa - remained dynamic in 2018, helping to divert
nearly 150,000 trucks from the roads to the maritime mode,
which is more sustainable in economic and environmental
terms.
This figure represents a 7% increase in goods transported by
short sea shipping services that regularly connect with ports
such as Civitavecchia, Genoa, Savona, Livorno, Porto Torres,
Tangier, Algiers and Tunisia

SERVICES PROVIDED
The efficient management of supply chains is the organisations’
greatest concern today, to the extent that the idea has taken
hold that competition does not really happen between companies,
but between logistics chains.
To be the top logistics port in the Mediterranean requires
acknowledging this market reality and adopting the door-to-door
supply chain (understood as an integrated sequence of
transport, warehouses and added value) as the product that the
Port of Barcelona should provide to the market.

SERVICES PROVIDED
Thus, the Port provides an integrated set of transport
services, storage services, complementary services and value
added services that meet market demands. The product of the
Port of Barcelona includes:
› Transport services: by road, rail and sea, long distance,
ports, distribution, etc.
› Storage services: warehouse services, equipment storage,
cargo consolidation and division, etc.
› Complementary services: customs, inspection, cargo
handling, means of transport (including technical services,
nautical, services etc.)
› Value added services: information and traceability, minor
assembly and handling, postponement, and, in general, all
logistics services that can add value to the market.

The Port is an area where all the necessary services are
provided for changing modes of transport. Providing these
services involves carrying out a series of activities
involving various administrations such as Customs, the
Harbourmaster’s Office, the Port Authority, the Border
Inspection Services and others, as well as various types of
private operators such as shipping agents, stevedoring
terminals, freight forwarders, customs agents, etc.
According to the client, port processes are divided into:
› Processes related to merchandise, in which the client is
the importer or exporter. These include transport processes,
which are operations basically provided by private operators,
as well as control and administrative processes.
› Processes related to ships, in which the client is the
shipping company. This includes the management of stopovers
related to administrations and vessel services, provided
basically by authorised operators.

OPEN DATA
The releasing of public data, also known
as Open Data, consists of making public
sector data available to all in
standardized and open digital format. In
the public sector, having access to data
from the administration guarantees
transparency, efficiency and equal
opportunities when it comes to adding
value.
The European Commission considers that
public data must be reused, both by
citizens and companies. This translates
into greater transparency and is a
driving force in the information and
knowledge society, especially for the
digital content sector. For this reason,
favourable legislation in the form of Law
37/2007, of 16th November, on the reuse
of public sector information
has been introduced, supersending
the European Parliament and Council's
Directive 2003/98/CE.

Open Data of the Port of Barcelona
The Port of Barcelona website provides information to the Port
community and the general population in accordance with its
mission to further development of the Port, to generate and
manage infrastructures and to guarantee the reliability of its
services which contribute to the competiveness of its clients
and create value for society. Much of this information has been
on the corporate website for some time under different
sections. The Open Data project goes one step further and makes
all these and other documents available in one single catalogue
in an Open Data format that allows the information to be
reused.

The main groups available in Open Data are:
Addresses Cartography Communication
Cruises ships and Ferries Port Services companies

Port Investments
The strategy developed in recent years has made these results
possible. It is a strategy based on three pillars:
 investment in first-level infrastructure under a public-
private collaboration model;
 powerful connectivity with the hinterland—a network of
internal maritime terminals connected to the Port by rail,and,
 a clear orientation towards consumers and the production of
activity.

Port Investments
Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and
sustainable industrialisation and foster innovation.
Infrastructure investments are fundamental to achieving
sustainable development. The growth of the Port has been
possible thanks to a consolidation of infrastructure and its
continuous improvement, with an extension of the investments
year after year. In addition to improving infrastructure,
Port organisations have fostered research, investigation and
innovation.
› 47.3 km of railroad track within the Port precinct.
› 61% of private investment over total investment.
› 4.5% of investment in R&D&I (research, development
and innovation )over total investment.
› 187,808 euros received for R&D&I projects.

Port Investments
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INVESTMENT
Public investment allows the Port to consolidate and improve
the competitiveness of the organisations working there. In
order to remain financially sustainable, investment must be
made in the Port’s infrastructure and surroundings, as
public investment favours and facilitates private investment.
Private companies’ commitment to the Port of Barcelona
indicates their confidence in capturing future traffic.
Of the total investment made in
2018, 39% was public and 61% was
private.

Port Investments
INVESTMENT IN R&D&I
Investment in research, development and innovation (R&D&I) is
a strategic commitment that companies need to continue to be
competitive. The R&D investment of the organisations surveyed
in 2018 was 4.5% of the total investment. There was a
considerable decrease compared to 2017, when this share was
12.5%.

Port Investments
FINANCIAL AID RECEIVED
The Port of Barcelona has continued to
participate in various international
projects that receive financial aid from
the European Union. TABLE ECO. 24. Of the
organisations that participated in this
Sectoral Sustainability Report for the
year 2018, 13.3% received financial aid
from the state or the European Union.
The total aid received, whether in
R&D&I, infrastructure or other
projects, amounts to 2,718,825.18 E.
These figures are well above those
of 2017 (439,386.48 euros). This
significant variation is explained by
the high amount of some of these
received subsidies and investments and
the rise in the number of organisations
receiving aid, which was 9.5% in 2017.

EU PROJECTs
In addition to developing the various European projects that
the Port is leading to promote natural gas as a mobility fuel
for boats, trucks and terminal machinery, the Port and
several partners have promoted the RePort project. This is an
important initiative to promote natural gas in freight
transport, with the engine overhauling of 26 trucks to the
dual system (diesel and gas).

Port Investments
RePort
Project description:
EcoMobility, one of the five RIS3CAT communities granted in
2015, is a cluster of companies and research institutions,
created with the purpose of reducing contamination caused by
transport. Within the EcoMobility Community, the Port of
Barcelona is the leader of the RePort Project.
The RePort project aims at reducing the air pollutant and
acoustic emissions at the Port, in order to improve the air
quality of Barcelona.
The main goal of the RePort project is to develop an
innovative technology to convert Diesel engines into Dual-
Fuel ones, making it possible for them to run on gas, which
is more sustainable.

Port Investments
Objectives: The main objectives of the RePort action are:
· To reduce CO, HC, NOx and PM emissions, as well as acoustic
emissions, caused by truck transportation of goods from the
Port to the distribution areas.
· To gather information on these emissions.
· To improve the existent technology in Dual-Fuel engines.
· Share the results obtained in order to promote the usage of
natural gas, as a standard fuel, in the supply chain of
goods.

Support Program:

RePort activities:
· Develop the technology base necessary to transform
Diesel vehicles into Dual-Fuel ones.
· Study the methodology to apply which maximizes the
benefits of the Dual-Fuel system, as well as reducing the
pollutant emissions.
· Pilot tests with LNG on vehicles.
· The systems will be developed so that they can be
installed in Euro IV and Euro V vehicles.
· Define and establish the logistics supply chain for LNG
and CNG, in order to fulfill future demand of natural gas
for vehicles.
The Barcelona Port Authority coordinates the different
activities within the project to ensure the correct
development and cohesion of the Action.
This project has been cofinanced by the European Union through the
European Regional Development Fund.

MiRO 2
Project description: The action of the global project aims to
launch an innovative multimodal combined transport service
between Barcelona and Paris (Rungis), offering a sustainable,
innovative, efficient and reliable multimodal solution to
shift semi-trailers from the road to the rail.
The aim of the Action is to build two multimodal terminals,
one in Barcelona and the other in Rungis, to implement a rail
motorway service between these cities in order to meet the
increasing freight service demand in the proposed corridor
For Barcelona, the Action involves the construction of a new
rail motorway terminal to transport trailers on the surface
of the former Llobregat riverbed. The Port of Barcelona will
conduct the necessary preparations in order to adequate the
land prior to construction.
Port Investments

Port Investments
Objectives:
The main objectives of the Action are:
• Optimisation of two TENT-T Corridors (Mediterranean and
North Sea-Mediterranean) and partially the Core Network Dijon
– Paris to ensure tail transportation as a substitute to
road.
• Elimination of bottlenecks in the cross-border section
between France and Spain, specifically in the location of La
Jonquera. Overcoming bottlenecks that exist in the border
between France and Spain would be the most significant
challenge in the optimisation of the Mediterranean Corridor.
• Improvement of the interoperability and connection between
France and Spain. There exists a rail gauge difference due to
different railway standards between the involved countries
and is a well-known obstacle for the development for cross-
border rail traffic.
• To reduce environmental impact, carbon footprint and
greenhouse gas emissions.

Core LNGas Hive
The Directive 2014/94/EU of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 22 October 2014 on the deployment of alternative fuels
infrastructure defines a common framework of measures for the
deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure in the European Union
in order to minimise dependence on oil and to mitigate the
environmental impact of transport.
The Action's overall objective is to foster LNG use in the Iberian
Peninsula and in the EU, supporting the deployment of LNG
infrastructure for maritime transport and ports operations along the
Spanish and Portuguese sections of the Atlantic and Mediterranean
Core Network Corridors in line with the corresponding Corridor Work
Plans. Therefore, it significantly contributes to the European
alternative fuels implementation strategy. The Action, including
studies and real-life pilot deployments, is implemented in Spain and
Portugal.

Port Investments
Objectives:
The main objectives of the Action are:
· To contribute to the Spanish and Portuguese National Policy
Frameworks (NPF), bringing institutional and technological
progress to a same pace, in view of fulfilling the
requirements of the Directive 2014/94/EU.
· To provide a roadmap and an investment plan to scale up the
results of the 11 integrated pilot deployments, in order to
reach a larger commercial roll out of LNG infrastructure and
equipment for maritime transport and port services along the
two Corridors in the Iberian Peninsula. This objective will
be met by deploying and operating 11 real-life trials in
Spain; and by addressing the lack of a harmonised and
coordinated approach to LNG logistics, infrastructure and
equipment development that prevents the economies of scale on
demand and supply for the roll out of LNG as fuel for
transport.

Port Investments
APB participation:
The APB takes part in the project developing four activities:
· Transformation of the barge in order to supply LNG to the
vessels.
· Design of a tugboat propelled by an LNG engine.
· Construction of a ro-ro vessel with a mobile gas generating
unit during the hoteling.
· Adaptation of two Straddle Carriers to LNG engine.
Expected results:
· To offer the know-how to other European countries for the
development and expansion of the LNG sector.
· To develop a safe and efficient integrated logistics and
supply chain for LNG in the transport industry, particularly
for maritime transport of the Iberian Peninsula.
· The promotion of clean energy for transportation driven by
the European Union.
