en.Wedoany.com Reported - New progress has been made in the construction of Raos 6 Dock at the Port of Santander, Spain, with the foundation settlement works officially initiated, as announced by the Santander Port Authority (APS).

The Port Authority stated that the increasing volume of operations in the Raos North breakwater area and the good performance of the container terminal necessitate the construction of new berths for general cargo and solid bulk cargo. The total investment for the new dock amounts to €22.8 million, fully funded by the Santander Port Authority's own resources. The construction is being carried out by a joint venture formed by SIEC and SATO, with a contract period of 20 months.

According to the project description, Raos 6 Dock will feature a 212-meter-long multipurpose dock, adopting a retaining structure scheme combining steel sheet piles and section steel, anchored with tie rods to micropile caps, with a designed water depth of 12 meters.

César Díaz, President of the Santander Port Authority, stated that this infrastructure is crucial for enhancing port capacity, increasing berth length, and improving the operational flexibility of public docks. The dock front can handle both hopper-truck unloading or rapid lifting of solid bulk cargo, as well as general cargo.
