Baleària has moved a step closer to securing its own passenger and freight terminal at the Port of Valencia after no competing proposals were submitted during the one-month public consultation period.
The Port Authority of Valencia (APV) will now proceed with preparing the concession terms and processing the project before a final decision by its Board of Directors.
Baleària is seeking a 35-year concession for an 80,704 m² site at the South Dock, close to its current operations at the Turia Dock. The new facility would be dedicated exclusively to ferry passengers and freight.
The project replaces an earlier terminal concession awarded in 2022 and cancelled by APV in November 2025 as part of plans to reconsider the integration of passenger-port activities with the city.
Unlike the previous €100 million project, which also included cruise traffic and involved a partner, the new proposal is being developed by Baleària alone and has a smaller footprint.
