The project is to deliver enhanced service to local industry by extending the Chemical Wharf and will mean that within two years large chemical cargo ships will be able to dock at Tarragona with an additional 1,200 metres of mooring. It will also equip the port with the best logistical support facilities in the Mediterranean, something which is crucial for the economy of Tarragona province. The project has been awarded to a Copisa and FCC temporary consortium.
