About This Seaport
El Musel at Gijón is the industrial seaport of Asturias and Spain's leading dry-bulk gateway, moving well over 19 million tonnes a year. Its core business is importing coal and iron ore to feed the region's steel industry, with cement, clinker and steel products among the outbound flows. Deep-water quays of 23 to 27 metres take bulk carriers of up to around 230,000 DWT, alongside liquid-bulk terminals for asphalt, LPG and fuels. A container terminal operated by APM Terminals handles relatively modest box volumes against roughly 100,000 TEU of capacity, complemented by roll-on/roll-off and steel handling. Motorway and rail links connect the port to Asturias and the Castilian interior. In short, Gijón is a bulk and industrial port rather than a major container hub. Lines seeking regular container services on Spain's north coast more often call Bilbao or Santander.
