Port Malaga

Founded by the Phoenicians, Port Malaga (locode ESAGP) is among the Mediterranean's busiest. Currently, it is ranked Spain's second-largest (after Barcelona), with annual trade volumes of 400,000+ TEU containers (containership units) and ~700,000 passengers (ferry and cruise tourists).

The Port's main activities are ferry and cruise passenger shipping and cargo import (containerized, breakbulk, vehicles). During its first major development (1900-1910) the Port was extensively reconstructed and modernized. In that period were expanded all quays and was completed the Maritime Station (passenger terminal).

In late January 2020, GPH (Global Ports Holding Plc) announced the purchase of the remaining Malaga Cruise Port concession shares from Malaga Port Authority for EUR1,5 million. The deal was via GPH's joint venture company Creuers Del Port de Barcelona SA. GPH (2004-founded, UK-based company, currently world's largest cruise port operator) now holds 62% of Creuers' shares, with the remainder owned by RCCL (Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd). Before 2020, Creuers owned 80% of Port Malaga's concession and on Jan 29 purchased the outstanding 20%. Malaga Cruise Port manages all the 3 cruise ship terminals, which have combined pier length ~1350 m (4430 ft).

Port Malaga has all 10 wharves in operation:

  • East Quay (main cruise port)
  • Ricardo Gross Quay 1 (dock for megayachts and small cruise ships)

  • Hereida Quay 4 (RoRo vessels / car carriers, bulk liquid and breakbulk cargoes)
  • Quay 5 (Floating dock for shiprepairs)
  • Romero Oak Grove 1 Quay 6 and Romero Oak Grove 2 Quay 7 (bulk liquids and dangerous cargoes)
  • Multipurpose Quay 9 (container ships, Ro-Ro vessels)
  • Soft Port 1 (bulk liquid cargoes)

All quays are connected via roads and railways. Port Malaga can be accessed via 2 Highways - A7 (Barcelona-Cadiz, running along the coast) and A45 (Cordoba-Malaga).

  • Port's main business is cargo imports, with total annual volumes over 3 million tons. Of these, around 2 million tons are break bulk cargoes, including cement, clinker / waste coal, cereals, grains, petcoke, fertilizers. Exports include processed food and construction equipment.
  • The annual boxship cargo trade is over 450,000 TEUs (containers). Annual liquid bulk is approx 70,000 MT (mainly olive oil).
  • The annual cruise passenger shipping traffic is around 211,000 (embarking tourists) and over 220 cruise ship calls.

The Mario Lopez Shipyard (part of Cernaval Group) was founded in the early 1980s. The yard's current annual business volume is 40+ ship repairs.

Future port development plans include:

  • (Hereida Quay 4) refurbishment and expansion (new 500 car spaces to be added) - budget EUR 33 million
  • (Guadiaro Quay 2) building a new cruise terminal, port museum, education center - budget EUR 22 million
  • (Ricardo Gross Quay 1) expansion of the yacht marina, adding new 24 slots for megayachts with max LOA length 30 m (98 ft)
  • (Eastern Quay) the passenger terminal will be redesigned and enlarged (to 1270 m2 / 13670 ft2) to double its existing annual passenger capacity (up to 560,000). The new terminal will include 2 heights and 2 berths (ship docks - Southern and Northern) - budget EUR 21,3 million.
