The port of Pasaia plans to invest $10 million a year to position itself as a "competitive Atlantic Axis node"
Asked about the transfer of port competence, the source of the dispute between the PNV and the PSE-EE, the President of the Port Authority of Passages, Izaskun Goñi, has stated that this must be clarified politically.
The 25% increase in freight traffic, up to 4.2 million tonnes , and the "positioningof the port of Pasaia as a competitive node of the Atlantic Axis ", is the main objective set out in the 2025-2030 Strategic Planpresented today by the Port Authority of Passages, to which are linked investments of EUR 10 million per year until 2030.
The President and Director of the Port Authority of Passages, Izaskun Goñi and David Candelario, respectively, have presented the details of the plan at a hearing held this morning in which they say they want to "start" an era of "consolidation and transformation." "The support of the administrations will be essential for investment in port infrastructure, rail connection and land."
At present, the port of Pasaia has 1,330 jobs and wants to reach 1,600 over the next four years, 270 more. According to its leaders, the intention is to "modernize infrastructure", "improve rail connection" and "expand the soil". To this end, they have said, "the commitment and cooperation of all actors is essential." The commitment to competitiveness, intermodality or the Blue Economy will be the challenge of the new cycle. "
With regard to intermodality, special emphasis has been placed on improving rail connections, including the commitment to the logistics platform of Lezo.
Competition controversy
On the other hand, asked about the transfer of competition from the port, the source of the dispute between the PNV and the PSE-EE, the President of the Port Authority of Passages has stated that this must be clarified in the political sphere.
Last Tuesday the Board of Directors of the Pasaia Authority approved the strategic plan and the mayors of Lezo, Errenteria and Pasaia voted against it because it does not include any reference to the transfer of competence.
In the opinion of the mayors, without delegating competence to the Basque Government, the necessary investments will not come.
