Project overview

Port development, Sevilla

Seville is located 80 km land inwards and it is Spain’s only commercial river port. Access is along the Rio Guadalquivir. The current dimensions and depth of the port impose limitations on the breadth and draughts of the vessels that use it, putting the future of the port at risk. So the Port Authority developed a New Maritime Approach that provides for the deepening and widening of the approaches to the port.
