The sound economic and financial situation enables the Port to move forward with new projects and port fees to remain unchanged

In 2025, turnover stood at 77 million euros, up 0.37% from 76.7 million in 2024. Debt with the European Investment Bank amounted to 30.9 million, and cash balances totalled 73.8 million euros. EBITDA amounted to 35.2 million euros.

In line with the above, the organisation’s economic and financial situation will enable it to continue making significant investments in key areas such as energy transition, basic infrastructure, intermodality, digitalisation, innovation and port-town relations. To this end, a green loan of up to 80 million euros has been secured from the European Investment Bank – Climate Bank, and 34 million euros in grants have been approved in competitive programmes by the European Commission to promote electrification and the creation of the port’s energy model, decarbonisation and innovation. These ongoing projects provide an excellent starting point for taking a qualitative step forward and placing ourselves at the forefront of the first ‘Comprehensive Strategic Plan for European Ports’, to be published shortly by the European Commission.

Likewise, to support business competitiveness, the Bilbao Port Authority will continue not to increase the prices charged to its customers. Consequently, and as has been the case since 2014, port fees will remain unchanged despite the cumulative general inflation over this period. The Port Authority also offers a 50% tax discount to pioneering vessels powered by alternative fuels (LNG and hybrid vessels) and those using low emission technology when berthed, as part of the drive towards decarbonisation.
