Some 80 kilometres up the Guadalquivir from the Atlantic at Sanlúcar de Barrameda sits Sevilla, the only commercial river port in Spain. A lock measuring 434 by 40 metres, commissioned in 2010, admits vessels up to 292 metres and tames the tidal range inside the basin. Total throughput rose 8 percent in 2024 to just over 4.2 million tonnes, led by agribulk such as grain and fertiliser — Sevilla is Spain's leading fertiliser-import port — alongside steel, cement and biofuels. Container volume reached about 152,000 TEU in 2024 (up 6 percent) at the Centenario terminal and its ro-ro ramp. Andalusian hinterland distribution runs by road and rail, with 1,122 trains called in 2024, suiting regional project and heavy-lift consignments. The 50-nautical-mile river passage costs time, so large or time-critical box shipments usually move through Algeciras, Cádiz or Huelva instead. For regional bulk and breakbulk flows, however, Sevilla offers a cost-effective direct link into the Andalusian heartland.
