Just under 3.37 million tonnes crossed the quays of Pasaia in 2024, more than half of it steel products — and almost none of it containers. Tucked into a narrow natural inlet between Mount Ulia and Mount Jaizkibel near San Sebastián, the Basque port (UN/LOCODE ES PAS) mainly serves the region's iron, steel and automotive industries, handling scrap metal (up more than 65 percent in 2024), finished vehicles, paper and general breakbulk. Its roughly 80-metre-wide entrance caps vessels at about 185 metres in length, so Pasaia stays a bulk, breakbulk and small-tanker port rather than a container line call. Ship-repair facilities with slipways and floating docks add to its industrial profile. Hinterland traffic runs chiefly by road toward Navarre and south-western France, with no dedicated container rail shuttle. Volumes held broadly steady in 2025 at about 3.41 million tonnes. For containerised cargo or large dry-bulk parcels, nearby Bilbao and Santander are the practical alternatives.
