en.Wedoany.com Reported - A delegation from the Port Authority of Vigo visited Brussels this week for talks with European institutions, aiming to secure the port's designation as a European network node port, thereby consolidating its position in the Atlantic marine-industrial ecosystem.

The delegation met with Galician Member of the European Parliament Francisco Millán Mon to seek political support from the European Parliament for the strategic positioning of railway and logistics infrastructure in the northwestern section of the Atlantic Corridor, and to showcase the region's marine-industrial chain to other member states.

Subsequently, the Vigo delegation also held a meeting with Gesine Meissner, the European Coordinator for Maritime Space, who oversees the integration and decarbonization of Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) infrastructure. During the meeting, the delegation raised the necessity of including Vigo in the category of European network node ports.

To technically support this request, the Port Authority submitted a report prepared by the University of Vigo (Universidad de Vigo), demonstrating the port's socioeconomic and logistical importance in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Port officials also argued that European regulations should be based on more modern parameters, rather than solely on gross tonnage traffic volume.
