Four companies have put forward bids for the construction of a Ro-Ro (roll-on/roll-off) cargo facility at the northern section of the Raos 9 dock. The contenders are Acciona, Ferrovial, SATO, and a consortium comprising Comsa, Cuevas Gestion de Obras, Altuna, and Uria. This project is part of a broader initiative to enhance the operational capacity of Santander port, which is crucial for improving the efficiency of cargo handling, especially for vehicles and heavy equipment. The Ro-Ro facility will facilitate smoother and faster loading and unloading processes, benefiting shipping lines and increasing the port’s attractiveness for logistics operations. The contract, valued at €10.26 million, underscores the significant investment in modernizing port infrastructure. In evaluating the bids, factors such as cost, technical expertise, previous experience, and project timelines will be key considerations. The chosen contractor will play a vital role in advancing Santander’s position as a competitive player in maritime trade, making this selection process an important step for the port's future development.
