Minister of Transport of Chile visits the ports of Barcelona and Tarragona

During the visits, which have been representatives of the Ministry of Economy and the Government, and the presidents of the Port Authority of Barcelona and Tarragona, Sixte Cambra and Josep Andreu, respectively, the Chilean delegation had the opportunity to meet the degree of infrastructure development of two major Spanish ports, as well as ongoing projects. After making two separate trips by sea port facilities, the delegation showed particular interest in knowing the port-city urban development, in which both cities stand out for the determined and respectful integration being done.

Spain can bring «know how» in port engineering, planning and management, and urban integration of ports.

In this respect, recognition and experience that Spain has internationally in areas such as port engineering, model development and integration of port-city, or port management and training are areas in which it will continue to seek formulas for collaboration between both countries.
