Port of Vigo clears strategic space for container operations

The Port Authority of Vigo has awarded a contract for the demolition of eight former cement silos located within the port’s container terminal.

The project will release approximately 6,000 square metres of strategically located terminal space, supporting the reorganisation of container operations and addressing growing logistics requirements.

According to the port authority, container traffic at Vigo is expected to reach another record high in 2026, with volumes projected to increase by nearly 5%. The port also expects the upward trend to continue.

The project will begin with the complete emptying of the eight silos, followed by their demolition and the preparation of the recovered area for terminal operations. The maximum execution period is eight months, although the port aims to make the space operational by spring 2027.
