Port of Barcelona Management Board has approved four strategic initiatives to enhance competitiveness, expand logistics capacity, advance sustainability, and modernize facilities.
At first, Terminal Investments Limited will acquire 50 % of Terminal Catalunya (Tercat) from Barcelona Europe South Terminal. The deal preserves Tercat’s open-access ethos and includes safeguards to ensure non-discriminatory service, quality standards, and ongoing compliance with concession obligations, pending regulatory approval.
The Centro Intermodal de Logística (CILSA) received a 34-year (extendable) concession for 99,135 m² in the ZAL Prat zone to build a 55,000 m², 15-metre-high warehouse. The €42.1 million facility will serve as Lidl’s European distribution hub under an initial 15-year, extendable lease.
Meanwhile, the management Board launched a €12.6 million turnkey tender for the design, construction, and maintenance of an Onshore Power Supply system at Cruise Terminal G, operated by Royal Caribbean Group. Scheduled to be operational by end-2027, the OPS is part of the port’s Nexigen wharf-electrification plan, which has committed €44 million since 2021.
Also, an addendum extends the W Hotel’s lease, managed by CIGAHOTELS España (Marriott International), by 10 years with a 5-year option, through 2041. The agreement covers a full refurbishment of rooms and public spaces, reinforcing the hotel’s flagship status without altering existing concession terms.
Port President Lluís Salvadó highlighted that these agreements consolidate Barcelona’s standing as a prime destination for global capital, while boosting logistics capabilities and accelerating the port’s energy-transition goals.
