The new office at Huelva will provide a range of services including ship agency, husbandry, bunker fuels, customs clearance, crew change support, and ship spares logistics. This expansion allows GAC Spain to better support its dry and liquid bulk customers, as well as gas carriers, in the region.
The Port of Huelva, a key player in Spain’s energy sector, handled over 7.8 million tonnes of goods from January to March this year, marking a 7.71% increase from the previous year. The port's bulk liquids movement rose by 9.16% during the same period, highlighting its role as an important energy hub.
Huelva is part of the Andalusia Green Hydrogen Valley project, which aims to advance Spain's renewable energy efforts. The project, led by CEPSA, will build green hydrogen production facilities in Huelva and nearby San Roque, with a combined capacity of 2GW. These facilities are expected to produce up to 300,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually and contribute to the production of biofuels and other sustainable energy products.
Additionally, the port's Sustainable Cold Logistics Hub, an innovative circular economy project, is designed to improve energy efficiency by using residual cold from the LNG port terminal for refrigerated storage. This system is expected to reduce energy costs by up to 50% for port users.
In addition, the port’s Sustainable Cold Logistics Hub, a cutting-edge initiative, is designed to enhance energy efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of logistics operations. Described by the Port Association as an “innovative circular economy project”, the hub utilises residual cold from the LNG port terminal to power refrigerated storage facilities within the port. This system optimises energy usage and significantly lowers operational costs, achieving up to 50% savings in energy expenses for the port’s users. This initiative reinforces the
