Port accessTRAFFIC DECLINES BY 6.8%, INFLUENCED BY PETRONOR’S TECHNICAL SHUTDOWN
The Port of Bilbao closed the 2025 financial year with a throughput of just over 32 million tonnes, down 2.3 million (6.8%) on the previous year’s figures and attributable to some extent to the technical shutdown of the Petronor plant between May and July. At the same time, however, it is worth noting that throughput in the second half of the year was up 1.5% compared to the previous year.
In absolute terms, figures show a marked decline in crude oil, gasoil and petrol. On the other hand, the greatest growth by volume was seen in natural gas imports, followed by feed and fodder, especially imports, non-metallic minerals, scrap iron, building materials and preserves.
