The port-maritime sector of Bilbao
The port-maritime sector of Bilbao, consisting of more than two hundred companies and 4,200 people, contributes to the shaping of the port of Bilbao as the main multi-modal centre in the north of the Iberian Peninsula, and incorporates it into the main Atlantic shipping routes.
The port of Bilbao is both a commercial and industrial port. Its powerful industrial surroundings are not only the generator but also the beneficiary of the port"s activity.
A whole group of enterprises offers its services to goods and vessels basing their criteria on sound business efficiency.
More than 200 regular lines connect Bilbao with ports all over the world. Land transport - rail and road - allows all types of goods to be received and dispatched to all parts of the Port"s hinterland.
Agile Customs processing makes for minimum goods transit time, and this task is shared on a daily basis at the terminals, and with maritime agents, auxiliary vessel services and all the other members of the group.
So the port sector of Bilbao is one in which Public Administration and private initiative come together to provide the Port with all the necessary means to attain the highest levels of efficiency together with a mixed organisation of stowage services offering the Port highly specialised labour with signed wage agreements lasting five years.
This unstoppable modernising of infrastructures and equipment, the introduction of new information and management technology, and orientation towards constant improvement in competitiveness are the pledge of the Bilbao port-maritime sector and the industrial companies in its surroundings for sustainable development. Port activity is carried out along the River Nervion and in its estuary.
