The Port Authority of Santander has awarded a EUR 1.79 million, 36-month contract to Interim Services Solutions for auxiliary passenger assistance services linked to the rollout of the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) and ETIAS.

The staff will support the National Police by assisting third-country passengers at passport control points, helping to speed traffic flows and maintain Brittany Ferries’ turnaround times.

Port President César Díaz said the service is designed to ensure efficient implementation of the new border controls while protecting a strategic traffic segment for the port.
