Port of Huelva plans to develop LNG bunkering infrastructure


Spanish port to invest in the development of an infrastructure for the delivery of LNG to ships and the export of gas.

The Port Authority of Huelva, Spain, has said that it plans to develop a liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering infrastructure for the delivery of LNG to ships and the export of gas.

The director of the Port of Huelva, Pedro García, confirmed that the project would be carried out with Spanish energy company Enagas and that "other ports" would also be involved.

In addition to the LNG bunkering project, the Spanish port also intends to invest in other areas. The total cost of the initiative is estimated at 22 million euros, of which 80 percent would be financed by the Port Authority of Huelva and the remaining 20 percent by the EU via the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), which according to the CEF home page was set up to finance "projects which fill the missing links in Europe's energy, transport and digital backbone".

The Port of Huelva's other planned projects are:

- The expansion and improvement of the railway network, which would require an investment of 4.6 million euros.

- The construction of a new container terminal at the port's South Pier (Muelle Sur) in conjunction with the company Concasa. The firm would invest 4.9 million euros and the Port of Huelva 1.7 million euros.

- The construction of a passenger terminal to expand the ferry service already provided by Naviera Armas Ferries to the Canary Islands. The estimated cost of the project is 4 million euros.

- Restructuring the entrances to the South Pier with an investment of 6.6 million euros.
