Barcelona Cruise Port, belonging to Global Ports Holding (GPH), the world's largest cruise port operator, has received approval from the Board of Directors of the Port of Barcelona to develop a new Terminal C and extend its concession contract.
The project entails an investment of €104.5 million, of which more than €50 million will be allocated to the construction of a new 11,253 m² cruise terminal at the Adossat dock. Designed to enhance the passenger experience, operational efficiency, and sustainability, the new facility will feature solar power generation and shore power supply (OPS) infrastructure, enabling cruise ships to connect to the electrical grid while docked.
Under the revised agreement, the Barcelona Cruise Port concession will run until 2050, with the option to extend it until 2053, reinforcing its long-term commitment to Barcelona.
Francesc Grau, GPH's regional director for the Western Mediterranean and general manager of Barcelona Cruise Port, stated:
“This approval represents a significant milestone for Barcelona Cruise Port and reflects the strong collaboration and mutual trust we have built with the Port of Barcelona. The new Terminal C will allow us to offer modern, efficient, and sustainable facilities that will enhance the cruise passenger experience and contribute to Barcelona’s long-term development as a leading cruise destination.”.
The new Terminal C is part of the broader transformation of the cruise infrastructure at the Adossat Wharf and contributes to the Port of Barcelona's long-term vision of more modern, efficient, and sustainable facilities. Further updates will be announced as the project progresses
