At the end of 2023, turnover stood at EUR 68.8 million, up 5.93% on 2022 figures of EUR 64.9 million. This EUR 3.8 million increase is attributable to the increased occupation rate of the port, to the larger size of the vessels and to the greater number of calls.
To support business competitiveness, port charges have remained unchanged over the period 2021-2023, despite an accumulated general inflation of 15.3% over this three-year period. In 2024, the prices charged to port customers will also remain unchanged.
Furthermore, in 2023, 50% discounts on vessel charges have been applied for the first time to pioneering vessels powered by alternative fuels (LNG and hybrid vessels).
The debt with the European Investment Bank stands at EUR 40.4 million and cash balances amount to EUR 55.9 million. Cash and cash equivalents (EBITDA) stand at EUR 31.7 million. In accordance with the above figures, this economic-financial situation will enable the Port Authority to make
new and important investments in 2024 in the areas of energy transition, basic infrastructure, intermodality, digitalisation, innovation and port-town relations.
