Gustavo Santana, president of Puertos del Estado, participated in the inauguration of the double Ro-Ro ramp at the Muelle Sur of the Port of Huelva, Spain. The investment amounted to USD 22.7 million and aims to improve the operations of the dock and address the projected increase in rolling cargo traffic, as it will allow for a greater number of ships to operate simultaneously.

“Infrastructure like the one we are inaugurating here demonstrates the commitment of Puertos del Estado to improving competitiveness, in this case with an increase in the capacity of the port of Huelva,” stated Santana.

The planned investments in the Port of Huelva amount to USD 61.8 million in 2026, and will exceed USD 250 million by 2029. These funds will boost the port’s capacity, sustainability, and connection with the city.

The funds planned for 2026, agreed upon in the corporate plan between Puertos del Estado and the Autoridad Portuaria de Huelva, include, among others, port infrastructure for USD 32 million; port-city projects, such as the remodeling of the Muelle de Levante, for USD 11 million: road and rail access, for USD 4.2 million and sustainability and energy transition, for USD 7 million.

The Port of Huelva, ranked among the top seven in the Spanish port system for cargo traffic, especially liquid bulk, reinforces with these actions its role as a strategic node in the logistics and energy sector of southern Europe.
