About This Seaport
Hutchison Ports BEST and APM Terminals run Barcelona's two deep-sea container terminals, together offering over 4.2 million TEU of annual capacity; the port handled 3.89 million TEU in 2024, up 18.5% year-on-year, and grew around 10% further in the first half of 2025. Beyond boxes, Barcelona moves new vehicles, breakbulk, liquid chemicals and a heavy cruise schedule. For freight forwarders it is the gateway to Catalonia, Aragón and southern France, linked inland by standard-gauge rail toward the European network. Customs follow standard EU procedures, supported by the ZAL logistics and free-zone cluster for distribution and value-added services. Reefer, dangerous-goods and project cargo are all handled to a high standard. BEST's onshore power supply now lets ships such as 24,000-TEU MSC vessels plug into renewable electricity at berth. When slots are tight, Valencia and Tarragona are the practical alternatives.
