Gijón port enlargement (Asturias)

The Port of Gijon is the leader bulk port of the Spanish ports system with an annual average traffic of more than 20 million tons for the last years. Forecasts for iron and coal traffic in the port for the following years notably exceed the capacity of the present terminal.

The new dry bulk terminal established in these facilities will have an unload capacity of over 25 million tons per year.
