Barcelona Port to Invest €104.5 Million in New Cruise Terminal at Adossat Wharf

The Barcelona Port will reduce the number of cruise terminals at Adossat Wharf from seven to five by constructing a new terminal C and subsequently demolishing the current terminals A and B. The Board of Directors has approved the modification of the concession for Creuers del Port de Barcelona to carry out this action.

The project includes demolishing the current terminal C and building another at the same location, covering an area of 11,253 square meters. The new facility will be public and will incorporate photovoltaic panels and OPS systems to connect ships to the electrical grid.

The action also includes relocating the roundabout access to Adossat Wharf, urbanizing the roads and intermodal areas, and constructing a new boarding and disembarking walkway. The planned investment amounts to €104.5 million, of which more than €50 million will be allocated to the terminal building.

The modification extends the concession of Creuers del Port de Barcelona until 2050, with the possibility of an extension until 2053. The last operation at the current terminal C took place on November 1, starting the work to empty and demolish the building. Once the new terminal is in service, terminals A and B will be demolished.

This latest action will allow for the complete renewal of a section of about 660 meters of Adossat Wharf, built more than 70 years ago. The port plans to tender the construction project in the coming months and begin work by the end of 2029. The work will have a duration of 24 months and a budget of €42 million.
