01 | CHAIRMAN’S FOREWORD
2011 was a year of important events in the Port of Santander, as much in its logistics and economic activity as in its plans for the future and renewal of its institutional life. It was an honour to be appointed Chairman of the Port Authority of Santander and, during the past months, I have discovered that the Port has both great professionals and great plans, which should fill us with confidence for its development in the years to come.There have also been changes at Board level, where we have a notable presence of the Government of Cantabria (the Ministers of Innovation, Environment and Public Works) as well as the Government of Castilla y León (the Chairman of Transport). The year’s results have been bittersweet: a marked increase in tonnage, breaking the 5 million tonne barrier with an increase of 2.5%, was clouded by a 6.1% fall in turnover primarily as a result of the new Ports legislation on tariffs. This is a clear warning that we need to be ever more demanding in the fulfilment of the austerity programme in order to reduce operating costs and more proactive in maintaining existing and capturing new traffic. The completion of the agro-food terminal was a significant event, since this forty million euro private investment is a key element in the growth of a whole range of traffic in Santander. Amongst the year’s projects, the amendment to the “Demarcation of Port Spaces and Uses”, transferring control of more than 200,000 m2 of port land to the city, merits special mention in the context of the agreement to redevelop the Waterfront, in turn set to be one of the most important events in the long history of port-city relations in Santander. With this process, the Port of Santander, in addition to its role as the decisive driving force for the region’s employment and economy, will make a unique contribution to the consolidation of Santander as a competitive national and international tourist destination, a source of wealth and well-being. We should also make mention of the Infrastructure Master Plan 2012-2022, whose first draft received a favourable environmental report and was made available for public and private consultation. We must continue to build the port of the future if we wish it to remain one of the cornerstones of progress for Santander and Cantabria. We will only be able to achieve this through collaboration and cooperation between the administration and private enterprise. José Joaquín Martínez Sieso Chairman Port Authority of Santander

03 | DIRECTOR’S REPORT
The recovery of port traffic, which commenced in 2009, continued throughout 2011. However, following a promising start, the rhythm decreased during the final months and the year ended with total throughput at 5,127,133 t, an increase of 2.3% on 2010. This was set against a backdrop of economic uncertainty which made itself felt in the evolution of certain traffic and port activity in general.
and November to levels in excess of 50,000 t during the month of June. There was an overall percentage drop of 20.1% compared to the previous year. Dry bulk showed a recovery compared to 2009 and 2010, which were the lowest in the last ten years, standing at more than three million tonnes and increasing its overall share by more than 2%. At 3,060,049 t dry bulk has increased by 6.3% year on year. This was due to greater activity in thermal coal, sodium carbonate and agro-bulk in general, which have exceeded cement, scrap and iron ore.
Whilst monthly traffic figures in 2010 followed the normal trend of a gradual increase over the year, 2011 showed significant fluctuations within the framework of a progressive deceleration during the second half , highlighting the difficulties resulting from the uncertain economic scenario. The largest volumes of traffic were registered during the months of March with 596,869 t , May with 477,248 t and July when the figure of 486,362 t was achieved. December showed the lowest throughput with 304,806 t.
General cargo has continued to recover following the fall in 2009, although the rhythm has slackened with respect to the previous year. However, this sector has again achieved a historic record with 1,683,387 t, an increase of 1.65%. Within general cargo, new vehicle traffic has made a good showing with 315,047 units, very close to the record figures of 2005 and 2007. Although there is an overall downward trend, these good results are fruit of the export activity of certain manufacturers –Volkswagen and Renault– which have risen 25.5% and 8.5% respectively, as well as Ford imports, which stood at 21,477 units.
Liquid bulk traffic, which has continued to diminish as a percentage of overall port traffic during 2011, reached 328,118 t as a result of the reduction in bio-ethanol exports and fewer chemical product movements. This sector showed significant fluctuations, from minimum monthly levels lower than 20,000 t during the months of March, July

03 | DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Intermodal traffic, trailers and trucks, reached 23,492 units a drop of 9.6% compared to 2010 which was a record year for this traffic in the Port of Santander. Almost 90% of intermodal traffic is carried by the regular service linking Santander with the British ports of Plymouth, Portsmouth and Poole run by the French company Brittany Ferries with a total of 206 calls during 2011.The service carried 211,630 passengers, 71,224 cars and 592,143 tonnes of cargo.
The Environmental Sustainability Report and the preliminary revision of the Port Infrastructure Masterplan were made public on 9 January 2012, in accordance with article 20 of Act 9/2006 governing the evaluation of the effects of certain plans and projects on the environment. Once the consultation period is complete, the Port Authority will study the observations and suggestions and consider their inclusion within the proposed Masterplan, prior to proceeding to the final approval stage.
Annual turnover stood at 17,686,465.98 euros, reflecting the impact of the reduction of various fees and discounts regulated by article 245.3 of the Revised Text of the Ports and Merchant Marine Regulations, which together have lowered the cost of the services provided by the Port Authority. Staff and other operational costs were 14,589,874.19 euros, an increase of 1.55% over the previous year. This increase was due to the costs of the MARPOL service and the dredging of the access channel, despite a reduction in the remaining areas of current expenditure.
As is now traditional, the port has worked hand in hand with the city on a number of cultural and recreational activities along with other public and private bodies. The Santander International Festival celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 2011 and the Port Authority organised a commemorative exhibition in the “Palacete” and sponsored the concert by the New Russian State Symphony Orchestra within the Festival’s symphonic cycle. Finally, I would like to thank the staff of the Port Authority as well as that of the various companies and organisations working within the Port of Santander, whose effort and cooperation are vital to the progress of our port.
Following the signing of the Inter-administrative Cooperation Agreement for the Development of the Waterfront - “Santander Waterfront Project”, - by the Ministry of Development, Municipality of Santander, Government of Cantabria, National Ports Authority and the Port Authority of Santander on 19 March 2011, proceedings started for the amendment of the Demarcation of Port Spaces and Uses as well as the Port Service Area Masterplan, which is necessary to bring planning requirements in line with the provisions of the Agreement.

4.2.3 Ferry traffic (ro-ro and passenger) There is a significant level of passenger and cargo traffic through the ferry services which link Santander with three ports in the South of England. From March to October there were 5 calls per week. The vessels operating this service with 206 calls during 2011 are: • PONT-AVEN, on the original passenger and cargo service between Plymouth and Portsmouth with two weekly calls. The PONT-AVEN made 87 calls during 2011 and handled 102,462 t in 3,794 vehicles (an improvement on 2010).
The pie chart shows the predominance of two manufacturers, Volkswagen and Renault, with 75% of the total between them.
• COTENTIN, Short Sea Shipping line serving the Port of Poole with trucks and passenger-drivers and one weekly call. There were 72 calls during 2011, handling 341,863 t and 11,963 vehicles (an improvement on 2010). 38% Volkswagen
• CAP FINISTERRE commenced service in March 2010 with two calls, but since October 2011 there has been only one call linking Santander with Portsmouth.This was the reason behind the worsening ro-ro traffic statistics, since there were only 47 calls during 2011 compared to 78 in 2010. Likewise, 147,878 tonnes were handled in 5,370 units, as against 280,415 t the previous year.

There was a reduction of 6% with respect to 2010, a contradiction in a sense since traffic throughput rose by 2.5%. However, passenger traffic fell by 11% and total vessel GT has also fallen by 2% (GT has a direct impact on fees for navigation aids, vessel fees and waste collection).

The following conclusions may be drawn from this table: The reduced turnover is due to the fees for use of facilities and navigation aids and will therefore be analysed more fully in the next section. Occupancy and activity income from concessions and temporary authorisations fell by 12% in 2011, due to the lower charges under the new law and the Annual Consumer Price Index rate of 75%.
The outcome has been in part due to the Port’s throughput figures, but more directly as a result of the new fee structure adopted in 2011. The new Port Law, which came into force on 1 January 2011, clearly reduces the amounts of fees applied to date. It also establishes new coefficients and discounts which could give rise to a reduction of approximately 10% in Port Authority income. (Source: Fichas Descriptivas. EPPE November 2010)
Notes on tariffs: The bunkering tariff has been reduced because the Port has also reduced the tariff for water and electricity during 2011. The tariff for waste collection has increased compared to 2010 because, since August 2010, this tariff began to be applied according to the vessel’s GT whether or not they made use of the service provided by the operators. Consequently, income for this service increased.
From the explanation given in the previous paragraph, which is common to all Spanish ports, it was to be expected that the Port of Santander would also be affected.

05 | FINANCIAL YEAR
5.1 | BALANCE
The Port Authority of Santander’s assets rose by more than 8 million euros during 2011, an increase of more than 2%.
Non-current liabilities were reduced by more than 10 million euros. This is mainly due to the transfer to short term of accrued liabilities of capital and interests from fees, previously the cargo and passenger tariff.
Fixed assets, comprised entirely of property are the port’s greatest resource –more than 313 million euros–. At the close of 2011, they showed a slight decrease of just over half a million euros.
Current liabilities have increased by almost the same amount –more than 10 million euros– during 2011.
The increase in current assets –short term credit and cash– in more than 9 million euros during 2011, represents a rise of more than 33% compared to the previous year.This increase is basically broken down in two parts: accounts receivable, 7 million euros and short term investment, 2 million euros.
Working capital has seen a reduction of 1.3 million euros, standing at over 21 million euros, providing excellent financial solvency to meet short-term liabilities.
5.2 | PROFIT AND LOSS
Income for the period 2011 was more than 7.8 million euros, an increase of more than 290% on the previous year. This can be broken down as follows:
• The financial result for 2011 stood at 4.4 million euros, which is an increase of more than 3.8 million euros. This result is mainly due to the extraordinary income resulting from the amounts transferred from the Treasury to the Port Authority to meet the liabilities resulting from the annulatory sentences regarding wrongly imposed port tariffs.
• Operating profit has increased by nearly 2 million euros, rising from 1.4 million euros in 2010 to 3.4 million in 2011.
5.3 | OPERATING CASH-FLOW
Once the corresponding adjustments have been made, we can conclude that there has been a reduction of 2.2 million
euros over the previous year –we have gone from 6.6. million euros in 2010 to 4.4 million euros in 2011–. Santander, 12 March 2012. Signed: José Manuel Río.

6.1.1 Summary of the most important civil works Renovation of the surroundings of the Gamazo Drydock The area was declared a Cultural Heritage Site by the Government of Cantabria and forms part of the port’s estate. It comprises the Dock, the surrounding area, the iron railings and pavement to the north and the former pump house. In view of the time passed since it was used for ship repair, it is now in need of refurbishment with low-maintenance materials.
quays. Obsolete rail tracks have been removed and the remainder repaired, service networks from the Naval HQ to the Northern Margin were upgraded and the whole area affected between the Maliaño Quay and the port fencing to the rear has been paved. Work commenced in February 2011 and was completed in November. Improved draughts on Raos Quay No 1 Dry bulk shipments are increasingly scaled to the future possibilities of the Panama Canal and these vessels exceed the 13 m draught available at Raos No 1. A construction project has been drawn up following a series of geo-technical studies to determine the best solution to achieve a draught of 14.5 m.
Roads on Raos Central Quay In order to enhance new vehicle traffic safety and flow on Raos Quay 8 it was necessary to divert traffic parallel to the quay on the south side of the Central Quay, separating the traffic flows and easing the transit of cargo from the LBC Tank Terminals liquid bulk terminal. The work included new round-abouts, road signage, closures and concreting over the rail crossing points. The works were completed in Autumn 2011.
Improvements in the Area of the Passenger Terminal Legislative changes and passenger service requirements have brought with them the need to modify certain aspects of the terminal such as access control, accident prevention, passenger information and passenger attention facilities, etc. The facility’s enclosures will be modified and a network of services installed throughout the vehicle pre-embarkation areas. Following the award of the contract, further require-

corporate the power source, lighting system and remote control into a single unit. The integration of these various systems uses two different communication formats: SMS messages based on mobile telephones and radio messaging based on freeband.
New quays at Maliaño A new 850 m quay is to be constructed to achieve a berthing line capable of accommodating a number of vessels of varying length. The quay will serve cruise and ferry traffic and will incorporate a ro-ro ramp.
Due to the specific geographical distribution of the Port Authority’s Navigation Aids there are a large number located in the Bay which permits communication by radio at no cost and there are a number of more widely spread units, such as the lighthouses and some of the buoys where the use of radio is costly and the use of SMS messaging systems becomes more economical. The solution put forward by the Port’s Navigation Aids Service contemplates the acquisition of 22 units with self-powered lights, incorporating GPS and telecontrolled via freeband radio, eleven green and eleven red; a Message Consolidation Unit capable of integrating and managing radio and SMS messaging and a Web Server Control Centre to run the system.
Upgrading and reform of facilities in the Cabo Mayor Art Centre These works involve various spaces within the museum facility. Specifically, the former stables will be demolished and a storage area and office created, the electricity generator and other auxiliary services will be relocated, an emergency exit will be provided and exterior drainage and landscaping undertaken. Supply of eleven signal buoys for the Port of Santander’s main channel The Port’s Main Channel was marked by eleven iron buoys dating from the time when they had to house acetylene gas tanks. These were subsequently modified to carry photovoltaic panels, wind-powered generators and batteries. Current requirements mean that the buoys must carry compact monobloc lighting systems which incorporate the light, power source and remote control, allowing lighter and more simple structures generally built from elastomers where the load-bearing metal parts are minimised.
Acquisition of an emergency power generator for the Port Authority Data Processing Centre located in the Sotoliva Building Following the installation and partial commissioning of the Data Processing Centre located on the ground floor of the Sotoliva Building, it was considered necessary to guarantee a 100% uninterrupted electricity supply to the installation. Taking current requirements into account the generator would not be able to cope when the the DPC was running at full power. A new generator was sourced to cover the short to medium term requirements of the installation, thus guaranteeing a reliable power supply in adverse conditions.
New Telecontrol System for Port Authority Navigation Aids The PAS had a remote control system for lighthouses and buoys which transmitted its parameters by radio on its own frequency (163.725 Mhz) to a control computer.
Installation of 220m of polyethylene pipe to supply water to vessels on Raos Nº 2 Quay On Raos Quay Nº 2 there is a 220 m tunnel with a 110 mm fibre cement pipe supplying water to the quayside.
All of the information received was managed by an application in Visual Basic with a series of screens interfacing with the user and an Access database. This system was based on technology dating from the beginning of the 90’s and replacement parts were difficult to find. It was also impossible to update or incorporate new technology and was in a generally run-down state as the greater part of its components had reached the end of their useful life.
This project envisages the replacement of this pipe with a new polyethylene version as the current pipe contains asbestos and is a potential health hazard. Furthermore the tunnel is fitted with inspection hatches for cleaning purposes, which do not support the weight of the heavy traffic moving around the port area. This gives rise to breakages, causing in turn constant fracturing of the fibre cement pipe itself. The solution put to the Port Management was to install a new 110 mm high density polyethylene pipe with elastomer joints and valves and accessories for supplying

water to vessels on the quayside. The tunnel was to be filled with sand and the hatches replaced with approximately 10 cm of asphalt.
Installation of low-energy 140 w lamps (previously 400w) on the Raos public lighting towers and preparation for telecontrol.
Modernisation of the ferry passenger gangway The gangway has been fitted with a new hydraulic unit with a secure anchoring system in the event that the “finger� should become detached from the vessel deck. A new simplified control panel has been installed and LED lighting fitted to the interior of the gangway.
Lighting management telecontrol of the Raos public lighting towers Adaptation and commissioning. Repairs to cracks in the Raos lighting towers Urgent repairs have been made to the bases of two towers where cracks had appeared. An engineering consultancy has been contracted to provide a definitive solution for the twelve towers which are showing this problem.
Installation of new railings on the Calderon quay to prevent passers-by from falling onto the ramps and/or stairs. New signage at Raos for traffic on the new southern road.
Painting of road surface on Raos Quay 8 Reference markings have been painted on the Raos Quay 8 to better organise and marshal new vehicle traffic in compliance with the ANFAC quality guidelines.
Rainwater collection for road sprinkling Along with personnel from Maintenance and using the former stockpile sprinkler installation, we have channelled the water from a warehouse next to the stockpile sprinkler deposit to use it for road sprinkling.
Repairs to leaks along the terrace of the ferry terminal. Upgrade to led lighting in the exhibition spaces.
Construction of an emergency exit in the south facade of the Port headquarters building A decision was taken to construct a manually operated door in the south facade of the Port Headquarters building in case the automatic doors were to become blocked thus impeding safe access or exit.

Neither were any such incidents recorded in the facilities located within the Port Service Area. 6.2.3 Interior Emergency Plan Drills Article 18 of Law 31/1995 Prevention of Accidents in the Workplace obliges employers to inform workers of health and safety risks, protection and prevention measures as well as the measures set out in articel 20 of the Law. In this respect and in compliance with the said articles, two evacuation drills were carried out in the administrative buildings of the Port Authority of Santander.
• Prevent damage and detriment to the health of its workers. • Promote the implementation of best practice in health and safety in the workplace.
The first took place on 30 June at the Port Authority Headquarters building.The fire alarms were sounded and all personnel and visitors evacuated the building by the staircase and gathered at the assembly point on the east side of the Multi-Use Hall. The offices of the logistics company UPM were also evacuated.
The aim being to raise the level of protection of the workforce through the development of an appropriate management system based on prevention. The PAS will provide all necessary resources, organisational as well as material, to reduce work-related accidents and illnesses as much as is technologically possible. Likewise, the Port will meet all legal requirements in the matter of Health and Safety in the Workplace as well as any other requirements which may be undertaken voluntarily.
The second drill took place at the Sotoliva Building on 1 July, where a fire which could not be dealt with by the means available in the building was simulated and all APS, Port Community and Harbour Master personnel were evacuated. In order to improve on previous drills, an evaluation was made of the evacuation times, the fire detection systems, emergency exits and emergency team response times.

6.2.4 Implementation of the Port of Santander Interior Emergency Plan and Emergency Drill The Board of Directors approved the Port of Santander Interior Emergency Plan on 15 December 2010.The plan was then implemented in accordance with the principles set out in Point 3.5 of the BASIC PROTECTION REGULATIONS FOR CENTRES, ESTABLISHMENTS AND PREMISES HOUSING ACTIVITIES WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY GIVE RISE TO EMERGENCY SITUATIONS, which establishes that the implementation of the plan should include as a minimum staff training and preparation (theoretical and practical), establishment of means of communication with the public and the provision of the necessary means and resources for the implementation of the plan.
6.2.5 Accidental Marine Pollution Contingency Plan Royal Decree 253/2004 sets out the pollution prevention and control measures to be implemented in hydrocarbon loading, unloading and handling operations in the port and establishes the conditions for the approval of the various contingency plans and their contents. It also sets out the guidelines for the environmental, meteorological and oceanographic studies. The Port of Santander’s Accidental Marine Pollution Contingency Plan and the Report on the environmental, meteorological and oceanographic conditions were approved by the Board of Directors on 30 June 2006. The Contingency Plan was not activated during 2011.
• Implementation via training. • Training exercises designed for personnel with specific roles within the Plan.
6.2.6 Health and Safety in the Workplace Management System - OHSAS 18001.2007 A Health and Safety in the Workplace Management System was introduced during 2010 in line with the OHSAS 18001.2007 requirements. The certification audit was carried out in two phases: the first on 17 January and the second between 13 to 15 April. The result of the audit showed that the Port of Santander has a highly consistent and efficient HSWMS with positive findings in nearly all of the processes. The certification of the Health and Safety in the Workplace Management System was approved by the Certification Organisation on 6 May 2011. Health and Safety Committee Article 38 of the Health and Safety at Work Act of 1995 establishes that companies with 50 or more employees should form a Health and Safety Committee (HSC), whose members should be drawn equally from management and staff, to regularly and periodically assess the company’s risk prevention practices.
A complete copy of the IEP is circulated to the various public bodies involved in Civil Protection and to the Municipalities bordering the Port of Santander Service Area. An Emergency Plan training programme was set up on 14,15, 16, 17 and 18 March 2011 with groups of approximately 30 staff receiving instruction during a two hour session.
The Port Authority of Santander HSC is made up of four Prevention Delegates and four representatives from Port Management.
Finally, there was a training drill simulating a hypothetical incident included in the Port of Santander Interior Emergency Plan.The exercise was carried out on 24 March 2011 and simulated a spillage of ACRYLONITRILE or BIOETHANOL from one of the rail wagons heading to the Chemical Products Terminal.
The HSC met on the following four occasions during 2011: • 25 February 2011. • 5 May 2011. • 28 October 2011. • 16 December 2011.

6.2.9 Preventive Resources Committee Section 3 of Article 10 of Royal Decree 171/2004 states that “The principal company must ensure that contractors and sub-contractors in its workplace have established the necessary communication channels”. In view of this and notwithstanding the other Health and Safety measure measures to be adopted by the other companies, the Port decided to constitute a Port of Santander Preventive Resources Committee to monitor, coordinate, cooperate, inform and train companies contracted by the Port to provide services on a permanent basis within the Port Service Area. The functions of the PRC complement but do not substitute the obligations of those companies represented within the PRC which carry out activities within the Port of Santander. The PRC met on the following occasions during 2011: 6.2.8 Port of Santander Prevention Control and Coordination Committee Article 11 of Royal Decree 171/2004 establishes the various coordination options which may be employed between the participating companies. These include holding regular meetings and this is the chosen method of the Port Authority to coordinate with companies operating within the port. Meetings have been held since 21 December 2005, which was when the Port of Santander’s Committee was set up.

6.2.11 Zero Accident Programme - Cantabria The Port Authority of Santander participated in the “Zero Accidents in the Workplace Programme - Cantabria 20062009”. Once this programme had concluded, the Government of Cantabria instigated a further project “Zero Accidents in the Workplace Programme - Cantabria 20092012” through the Cantabrian Institute of Health and Safety at Work on a voluntary basis for companies with low accident records.
6.2.12 European Road Safety Charter The Port Authority of Santander renewed its commitment as a signatory of the “European Road Safety Charter” on 9 September 2009. The European Charter is a programme promoted by the European Commission whose slogan for the period between 2009 and 2012 is “Your commitment counts more than ever”. The Port of Santander assumed the following commitments for the period 2009-2012: • Improvement of horizontal signage within the Port, painting roads and cross-roads where signage is worn through use or age and may cause confusion to road-users (Drivers and pedestrians).
The Port of Santander requested to be included in the project to improve risk prevention and work conditions as a means of preventing accidents in the workplace. The Institute approved the application in March and the Port Authority undertook to comply with the five phases of the project within the period of 2009-2012.
• Information campaigns on the use of high-visibility jackets, safety belts, speed limits, etc. through messages and recommendations on the information panels around the Port. • A record is to be kept of vehicle-related accidents and incidents within the Port Area, researching and analyzing the causes in order to prevent their re-occurrence. Every year a report will be produced with a section covering road accidents and the results of the investigations and a comparison drawn with other periods in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the measures implemented during 2009-2012 and the commitments undertaken during the same period.
Preliminary Phase: Initial Self-diagnosis. First Phase: Preventive policy and organisation. Second Phase: Risk evaluation and preventive action planning. Third Phase: Introduction of the prevention system. Fourth Phase: Efficiency evaluation. The SECOND and THIRD phases were completed during 2011 and the FOURTH phase is due for completion during 2012.

6.3.1 Environmental Management in the Port of Santander 6.3.1.1 Annual Targets The Port Authority sets out a series of targets every year to improve management procedures and the environmental aspects of the activities carried out in the port area. The following targets were set for 2011:
The Port Authority of Santander is keen to bring the issues of quality and the environment to the forefront of the port’s activities. In recent years a number of basic principles such as continuous improvement, client satisfaction, strict compliance with legislation, prevention of pollution at source and sustainable development have been incorporated into the port’s management policy.
Environmental initiatives • Analysis of environmental legislation as applied to stevedoring companies.
The Port Authority’s Quality and Environmental Policy is available to the general public here: www.puertosantander.com
• Optimisation of selective collection of MARPOL -Annexe V waste.
Since 2003 the Port Authority has obtained ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 certification for service management of the commercial port and public areas, as further proof of its commitment to operational quality and improvement of the environmental aspects of the Port of Santander.
• Telecontrol of lighting towers on Raos South Quay to adjust energy consumption to operational requirements. • Replacement of fibre-cement pipe on Raos Quay 2 with polyethylene pipe. • Revision, updating and approval of the Port of Santander’s Environmental Regulations. Quality initiatives: • New Port Authority Data Centre. • Increase in data storage capacity. • Installation of Megapixel cameras for port operations.

6.3.2 Air Quality Monitoring The Port Authority installed a monitoring system to evaluate the environmental conditions in which bulk handling operations are carried out and their possible impact on the port-city interface. The system comprises a cabin with PM10 particle analysis (to monitor dust emission) and gas monitoring equipment to analyse NO, NO2, Nox and CO gases as well as a weather station and a complete IT system. This was undertaken within the framework of the HADALIFE project (Automatic Environmental Diagnostic Tool) with the participation of the National Ports Association and a further seven Port Authorities.
are used to monitor operations, allowing decisions to be taken on the advisability of deploying preventive measures (sprinkling, temporary stoppages, etc. ) in order to ensure that particulate emission levels in residential areas remain below the requirements of Royal Decree 102/2011. 26 port operations were temporarily suspended during 2011 –9 fewer than the previous year– for a total of 50 hours, exactly half of the stoppage time of the previous year. The main cargoes affected by the environmental stoppages due to adverse weather conditions were sodium sulphate, (28 hours) and sepiolite (20 hours) and to a lesser degree other cargoes such as sodium carbonate and soya husks.
Network of port air quality monitoring stations The Port Authority intends to have a network of fixed measurement cabins to monitor conditions within the port perimeter as well as particle concentration in real time. The new dry bulk and agro-food terminals must be equipped with measurement devices which can relay data to the network.
The construction work on the new Agro-food Bulk Terminal was completed in 2011. This Terminal hopes to become a benchmark in the handling of this type of product amongst the northern Spanish ports from both an operational and environmental standpoint. Construction of the Dry Bulk Terminal on the Raos North quay commenced in 2010 next to the Agro-food Terminal. Once the terminal is completed there will be a significant improvement.
Operations monitoring Environmental variables such as wind speed and direction
PM10 particle emissions The main sources of PM10 particle emission within the port are heavy traffic, loading/unloading and transhipment of powdery dry bulk, agro-food products, etc. PM10 (R.D 102/2011)

6.3.3 Noise Level Monitoring The Port Authority’s annual monitoring programme monitors levels within the port perimeter as well as background levels generated by non-port activities (mainly city traffic) on a representative day of port activity, 08.00 to 22.00 hrs. The measurements for 2011 showed that all the values were below the limits set by the Port of Santander’s Environmental Regulations (65 dBA for the control points closest to the urban residential areas: 1, 2, 3, 4, 11 and 12 and 70 dBA for the remainder). With the exception of control points Nos. 2 and 9, there was not sufficient difference between the background and the overall noise levels to effect an evaluation. All of the control points are affected by traffic and the readings at points Nos. 2 and 3 were affected by construction works inside the port.

6.3.4 Water quality and spillage monitoring Water Quality and Hydrological Planning Hydrological planning is a process established in the Water Framework Directive which aims to achieve a good environmental standard for continental and coastal waters.
Automatic sampling equipment has been acquired to monitor municipal industrial waste which pass through the port collector and thence into the Raos North Basin to determine their origin. These spillages occur repeatedly and the Port Authority undertakes their collection and management.
In Spain this process is regulated by the Hydrological Planning Directive (ARM/2656/2008 10 September) which has a substantial impact on ports as it affects Zones I (interior) and II (exterior) of port waters.
The monitoring of spillage parameters, the implementation and consolidation of corrective measures (operational and cleaning measures and special facilities) and the requirements of the users of the port collectors allows us to improve waste water quality.
4 May 2011 marked the start of a six month period of public consultation on the “Proposal for a Hydrological Plan for the Demarcation of the Western Cantabrian Zone”. On 27 October 2011 the Port Authority registered its complete disagreement with the demarcation proposed for Zone I of the port, requesting that all of Zone I should be considered as highly modified water bodies, in accordance with the criteria established in the Hydrological Planning Directive.
Cleaning of basins and other common water areas The Port of Santander Cleaning Service “pelican-type” launch recovered a total of 315,96 t of solid waste from port waters during 2011. The disposal of solid residue is managed by the Port Authority, which also undertakes the collection and disposal of maritime spillage. Apart from collecting solid waste, the vessel has a highpressure water jet to clean walls, steps and breakwaters and can be used as back-up to clean and dilute fuel spills within the port.
Spillage Run-off water is analysed periodically in accordance with the Port Authority’s Spillage Monitoring Programme. The following parameters are monitored: pH, BOD5, COD, solids in suspension, ammonia, oils and grease.
There were no significant spillages during 2011. Two slicks were detected, one was a municipal spillage (from a collector not connected to the Bay Drainage System) and the other of unknown origin. Neither required specific action.
The pollution parameters are checked regularly and the effectiveness of corrective measures at the check points is entered in the Environmental Department’s Spillage Register. The most recent analyses show higher levels of pH, BOD5 and COD in 6 of the 37 check points.

6.3.5 Waste Management 6.3.5.1 Commercial Port Waste generated by port operations Port operations which generate waste in excess of 0.15% of the total cargo loaded or unloaded are penalised.This percentage was reduced during 2009 –it previously stood at 0.19%– in order to minimise waste and improve the environmental quality of port operations. The percentage of waste compared to overall cargo volume varies between 0.04% and 0.08%. No operations reached the 0.15% level at which the tariff would have been applied.

6.3.6 Soil Management There were no contamination events during 2011 and no decontamination action was taken. Approval for the decontamination project of the Allion Espaùola S.A. Concession is pending. The most recent quality control check on the subterranean water in the Port’s piezometric network was made in November 2010 to establish the evolution of the control parameters and evaluate their environmental status. The conclusions of the Evaluation of Acceptable Risks report for 2010 find that the levels of contamination found in the subterranean waters of the areas investigated in the Port of Santander do not pose an unacceptable risk to health to people working in the area or for residents living close by, taking into account current and future usage. 6.3.7 Use of Natural Resources 6.3.7.1 Electrical energy Electricity consumption was reduced during 2011 due to measures taken to cut back on public lighting.

6.3.10 Accountability and Responsibility The Port Authority of Santander makes all environmental information available to clients and port users on its website: www.puertosantander.com Clients and port users also have a direct telephone line (942 203 660) and an email address for environment-related matters: medioambiente@puertosantander.com). 6.3.11 Environmental Incidents The most frequent incidents are caused by emissions of dust affecting third parties (operators and port users) on other cargoes from dry bulk handling operations (sepiolite, sodium sulphate and sodium carbonate), followed by accidental spillages of fuel, oil and liquid refrigerant from vehicles/machinery onto port paving, waste water of unknown origin into Port waters from outside the Port and waste abandoned in the Port Service Area.
6.3.8 Financial Aspects Quality and environmental financial resources were destined to the following uses during 2011:
The measures taken to counter dust emission are included in the Port Environmental Regulations (preventive and/or environmental stoppages and operations monitoring). With regard to spillages, abandoned waste and spillage, cleaning and management of is undertaken by the Port Authority when their origin is unknown.
• Landside and port water cleaning service. • Green space maintenance. • Hazardous waste management.
6.3.12 Environmental Impact Evaluation All necessary Impact Evaluation Studies are carried out and submitted to the Ministry of the Environment to prevent and correct environmental impact associated with project execution.
• Environmental emission monitoring: noise, water (sampling equipment). • Maintenance of the air quality monitoring equipment: meteorological station and air quality station. • ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 Management System (maintenance and recertification audits).
Works and repairs are subject to the Port of Santander Environmental Regulations which allow for environmental variables to be applied to infrastructure operations.
6.3.9 Tarining and Comunication Port of Santander participation in courses and congresses with environmental content Master of Port and Coastal Engineering (University of Cantabria) Intranet/Internet Communication The general public may consult Port Authority quality and environmental information (Policy, Quality and Environment Manual, legal requirements and Port Environmental Regulations) on the port’s website. Port Authority staff may also access Management System procedures and instructions through the port intranet.

6.4.1 Information systems A summary of the main projects carried out by the Information Systems division during 2011.
• A new security copy system has been installed as the previous one was not have sufficient storage capacity for the amount of data that the company currently handles. The back-up system allows daily imaging of the systems and copies of data from each of the services. The technological advance introduced here was the use of RAID disc drives instead of the traditional back up tapes, this ensures file safety and means that restoration is very quick. Finally, a tape robot will be incorporated during 2012 to store information over longer periods
Transfer and updating of the Data Processing Centre The transfer of the old data centre to its new location in the Sotoliva Building began at the start of 2011. The servers’ hardware and software was updated at the same time. Apart from the construction of the bunker, security systems were installed as well as the following:
• A broadband manager was acquired to guarantee internet traffic which is considered strategic or which requires QoS.
• Virtualisation of servers, this process consisted of installing all of the systems previously housed in 19 units into 3 units. This has brought many technological advantages, but above all the impact has been on the savings derived from the running and maintenance cost of the equipment.
Negotiation of the mobile telephone contract The contract with Movistar terminated in August. Having analysed the offers from Orange, Vodafone and Movistar, the contract was awarded to Movistar with an estimated cost saving of 30%.
• Updating and virtualisation of the email servers, data base, files, DNS, etc.

Concession management The process of integrating the management of authorisations and concessions was concluded, this system provides overall monitoring of the port’s estate. The development of a new GIS for the Port Authority based on Autodesk Mapguide 2010, which should be concluded by 2012.
Electronic invoice notification A digital platform has been created for clients to receive and save invoices issued by the Port Authority.The aim is to reduce invoice notification times and improve the service provided to clients. Invoices are sent as soon as they are generated. The client receives a notification email and can then access invoices via a link.There are two systems, Facturae (which allows automatic incorporation into the client’s ERP) or PDF which can be printed. This system drastically reduces invoice reception times, printing and mailing costs and payment times.
Port Authority Electronic HQ On 21 February 2011 the Official State Gazette published the decision to create the Port Authority of Santander Electronic HQ (https://sede.puertosantander.gob.es) at which time the service came online, having been constantly updated since. The initial services available included Electronic Document Registration and a complaints and suggestions register. A new electronic notification system based on the Facturae format for client invoices and payments was introduced in December.
System for automatic monitoring occupancy of port yard space A system is being developed which will enable the port police to measure the occupancy of port surfaces using a mobile telephone GPS and incorporating these measurements into a management system which will be integrated with the Sigma operations control programme. This will help the port police in their work and allow the Port Police Station greater control of the yards.

Project to carry out collection of fees via the accountancy application Following nearly three months of analysis of the collection process and negotiations with the manufacturer, we have contracted the development of an application which will enable fees to be collected via the financial application, since the National Ports Authority announced that the new version of Sigma, which is called Integra and will be available mid-2012, does not have this facility.
A gateway has been included with Skype, one of the best known Internet voice and video systems, which enables calls to be made or received via company phones to and from Skype accounts. This type of call is free regardless of the recipient’s location.
VoIP, Skype and Webconference In order to continue the convergence of voice communications with data technology and to reduce communication costs via use of the internet, an Asterisk server has been integrated with the Alcatel 4400 switchboard. This system enables calls to be made with the same quality as a conventional call, but at a much lower or, indeed, zero cost.
Monitoring of port service management (GPS) In conjunction with the Operations Department a new internet system has been made available which enables service providers such as Santander Port Control, Pilots, tug operators, mooring services and Marpol to register their services online. The aim is to maintain an automated and detailed account of tariffs, timings and quality of service. There are currently 51 users who use the system on a daily basis. There follows a graph of GPS usage since September, which highlights the heavy usage the system has had.
Finally, an inter-company webconference facility has been set up. Apart from audio and video communication, this will enable presentations, demonstrations, etc.
An IP operator has been installed as with any conventional operator, Telefónica, ONO, etc., which enables telephone calls to be made to foreign conventional numbers at a much reduced cost compared to a conventional operator.

The students overall average evaluation of the courses was 4, with 1 being the lowest possible rating and 5 the highest. Likewise the effectiveness of the training programme has been assessed as generally positive by senior management.
6.5.1 Employee Portal A wide range of the most important documents from staff personal records has been selected to be made available on the employee portal. Currently, employees may use the portal to consult, save or print documents covering their administrative situation, payslips, certificates, etc.
The 11 Training Activities were: “Elaboration and Implementation of Self-Protection Plans”, for the Industrial Safety Technician; “Basic Life Support and use of the Semi-Automatic External Defibrillator”, for the Port Police; “English”, “Prevention of Risks in the Workplace (Basic Level)” , “Fire Fighting (Advanced Level)”, “PRL with Data Visualisation Screens”, “PRL in Road Safety”, “Port Services Basic Course” and “Coordination of Business Activities” for staff from various Departments.
Except in cases where a receipt is required, the process is paper-free and the document is sent to the employee in PDF format. More options will be added over the next year especially regarding documents to be submitted by employees. It will no longer be necessary to provide paper evidence of change of bank, address, etc.
A Training Programme was drawn up for the period 20122015. The different requirements of the workforce were taken into account, as well as the various proposals and suggestions received from the Port Authority’s Departments in line with the Quality and Environment Internal Procedure Convention. Workers’ representatives were informed of the new 2012-2015 Training Plan at the Training Commission meeting of 7 November 2011 and their cooperation was requested as recorded in the minutes of the meeting.

Aside from the aforementioned support given to the University of Cantabria and the Menéndez Pelayo International University, CITAP helped a number of other organisations to organise events. On 29 July, the La Cerda Lighthouse hosted a meeting of the Monitoring Commission of the research project “COMODALWEB” financed by the Ministry of Development.
7.1.4 Research, Innovation and Scientific Production Introduction CITAP’s research and innovation activities were centred on two areas during 2011. Firstly, Gaining knowledge of Research and Development via participation in the Interport R&D Commission promoted by the National Ports Authority and contacts with related organisations. Secondly, continuing with ongoing projects commenced in 2010 and formulating and designing new projects.
CITAP cooperated in the organisation of the two editions of the European Short Sea Shipping School course “Life Rail - Maritime Sea Intermodality Workshop” aimed at operations management professionals in the maritime-rail transport field. The Port of Barcelona, FEVE, Port of Santander, CP Carga, APTMCD, AGEPOR and ENIDH also took part.
7.4.1.1 Research and Development National Ports Authority RDI Commission: IDISPE project The National Ports Authority started the Inter-port RDI Commission towards the end of 2010 with a view to improving the management of innovation in the Spanish Port System. The majority of Spanish ports are present in the Commission, which has a transversal organisational structure and CITAP represents the Port of Santander.
The first of these courses was held on 8 November and was attended by a large number of Portuguese students, whilst the second was held on 29 November.
One of the Commission’s roles is to act as intermediary between the National Ports Authority and national and international institutions in the field of innovation, identification and analysis of the sectors of port activity where innovation is required as well as the promotion of the exchange of experiences in the Port System through the Inter-port Innovation Forum. Prior to defining the future innovation scenario in the port sector and the role of the Inter-port Commission, the National Ports Authority commissioned Fundación Valencia Port to carry out a diagnosis of the current situation of R&D in the Spanish Port System via a project entitled “The Organisation of RDI in the Spanish Port System”.
Finally, CITAP cooperated with the International Association of Port Law, founded in 2003 to promote communication between professionals in the port and maritime sector at a national and international level and share studies, knowledge and experiences of port law. The association’s headquarters is the La Cerda Lighthouse and its AGM was held on 2 December.
This project has a double objective: to gather the information required to produce the Diagnosis of the Current

7.4.1.2 Studies and projects Study of Short Sea Shipping Lines Santander - Baltic During the first six months of 2011 work continued on this research project which commenced in the summer of 2010 in conjunction with the University of Cantabria. The aim is to design Short Sea Shipping Lines between Santander and some Baltic ports which might be viable from the point of view of service quality, “door to door” costs and traffic volume in order to guarantee long term sustainability.
State of RDI in the Spanish Port System and to produce an inventory of the various projects and activities throughout the various Port Authorities. To collect the required information, a questionnaire was designed and sent to the Port Authorities. During the summer CITAP undertook the task of collecting the information to complete the questionnaire. This has provided an inventory of the innovation activities and projects undertaken or in progress in recent years.
“Portus. Doc”: Development and application of techniques, tools and information technologies for the conservation and management of document resources This is a project aimed at designing and developing a digital platform for integral management of document and library resources within the Port Authority of Santander Documentation Service. Its implantation has made document consultation and access easier and more efficient as well as substantially improving the conservation and monitoring of the resources.
The results of the questionnaire were presented to the Inter-port RDI Commission meeting held at the end of September in a preliminary working document which was analysed and debated during the session. The conclusion of the draft final report along with an inventory of the existing RDI initiatives is scheduled for the end of December 2011. The Commission plans to carry on its task via the creation of work groups through which the RDI projects will be dealt with by type. CDTI and CYTED Meetings In September, meetings were held with the heads of CDTI and CYTED to explore the possibilities of articulating CITAP’s RDI activities within national and international research networks. CDTI (Centre for Industrial Technological Development) is a Public Enterprise Organisation dependent on the Ministry of Science and Innovation, whose mission is to promote innovation and technological development within Spanish companies, channeling their applications for finance and support for RDI projects.
citap.net Platform An exploratory study was undertaken during June, July, August and September to define the format of “citap.net”, to establish the configuration of this platform and apply the technological tools required to manage its content.
CYTED (Ibero-american Programme for Science and Technology Development) is an initiative started in 1984 by means of an Inter-Institutional Agreement signed by 19 Latin American countries, Spain and Portugal. The agreement is common to the national Science and Technology Systems of the Ibero-american region which promotes and supports multi-lateral cooperation aimed at the transfer of knowledge, experiences, information, results and technologies, establishing mechanisms of cooperation between research groups from Universities, RDI Centres and innovative businesses. CYTED promotes the creation of networks, coordinated action, joint research projects, etc.
The subject of virtual training and its application in the port sector was considerd within the framework of the study, taking into account CITAP’s organisational model, the specal nature of this type of training and the target audience.

7.1.5 Educational and Research Publications CITAP participated actively in the edition of three publications. Firstly, CITAP worked alongside RETE on the production of issue 22 of the journal PORTUS and the book “The Port City of the 21st Century. New Challenges for the Port City Relationship”, which marked the tenth anniversary of the founding of the association.
Both publications were presented at RETE’s “Autumn Encounter” held at Viana do Castelo (Portugal) between 24 and 26 November.
“Portus” is an international journal, published twice a year, which specialises in the analysis and study of port-city relationships. Following the interest generated by the seminar “Urban port waterfronts. A new generation of sustainable projects” held in Santander between 13-16 April within the framework of RETE’s “Spring Encounter”, it was decided to include the majority of the seminar’s papers in the “dossier” section of issue No. 22 of Portus.
The third publication entitled “Santander, Port, History, Territory” was co-edited by the University of Cantabria and the Port Authority and contains transcripts of lectures given during a seminar of the same name between 15 and 19 May 2009 held to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the creation of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters. A group of specialists took part and discussed the Port of Santander from a historical and geographical perspective.
The book “The Port City of the 21st Century. New Challenges for the Port City Relationship” is the result of the combined efforts of around thirty world-renowned specialists and academics from Europe, USA, Latin America and Japan under the supervision of Professors Rinio Bruttomesso and Joan Alemany.
The book tackles topics such as the historic significance of the port, its evolution over the centuries, its influence on its surroundings, etc. The publication brings the reader up to date with the research work carried out by the faculty, whilst offering an interesting view of the vicissitudes which have marked the history of the Port of Santander with insights into the present and future situation of the port.
Through the interdisciplinary focus of its authors, this book deals with recent developments in port cities around the world. The book is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the situation of the contemporary port city and the keys to interpret the processes which it faces at the turn of the century. It provides a complete update of the knowledge and science accumulated over the last thirty years of port-city relationships and explores new concepts, work hypotheses and study routes.

It also manages the map, video and photo services related directly to the General Archive document collection.
año Quay to a facility adjacent to the Archive. This documentation is being treated and assessed for incorporation into the Archive. A total of 272 new files have been classified, assessed and incorporated during 2011. 7.3.1.2 Photographic Collection 2011 saw the incorporation of 373 new images into the collection of 4,500 digitalised and described images in the Apclmatge database, which was installed in 2005 to manage this resource.
7.3.1 Resource Management. Service Areas 7.3.1 General Archive The documentation held in the Port Authority of Santander General Archive originates from three different entities. The main collection stems from the Junta de Obras del Puerto de Santander, which started to generate documents in 1872, later becoming the Junta del Puerto in 1968 and then the Port Authority in 1992.
The Port Authority’s photographic collection has been augmented through donations made from private collections wishing to take advantage of the Centre’s expert facilities and conservation techniques.
The second collection comprises documentation from the former Organización de Trabajos Portuarios (OTP), whose functions in the administration of stevedoring activities were passed on to SESTISAN. These documents are currently awaiting classification. The third collection, also awaiting classification, comes from documents salvaged from the Fishermen’s Association prior to the demolition of the former Fish Auction Hall.
A collection of 45 images of vessels being launched at Astilleros del Atlántico dating from the fifties and sixties was donated by Rufino Mazón García de Muro. Another collection of ten postcards of the port and city of Santander from the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th Century was donated by Alberto de Benito Inglada having been acquired in an antiques market in Valencia. 7.3.1.3 Library - Press This department has carried on as usual; acquisitions, both internal and external, have been dealt with. External acquisitions come from organisations with which the Port Authority has reciprocal agreements. Requests from port employees have also been attended as well as a growing number of external enquiries.
The most outstanding facet of the General Archive’s work during 2011 was the development and completion of the project entitled “Portus Doc: Development and Application of Information Techniques, Tools and Technologies for the Conservation and Management of Documentary Resources”, which led to the introduction of the “Portus Doc” platform to provide integral management of the Centre’s document, library resources and services. This has allowed the replacement of the software which has been in service for nearly 25 years with a new and innovative tool to meet the current and future requirements of modern document management, in short a pioneering step forward in the context of Spanish port archives.
At the close of 2011, the Port’s Library and Press Library held 6,039 monographs, including 142 new titles and 303 specialised journals. There is also a collection of 337 CD and DVD discs and 126 videos. 7.3.1.4 Publication collection With only four new publications, 2011 has seen a significant drop in the number of titles published. Most of these were connected to the activities of the two exhibition spaces, Palacete del Embarcadero and the Cabo Mayor Lighthouse Centre: “Angel Pascual Rodrigo”, “Las Heridas de la Tierra” (Dalita Navarro), and “Desde el Sur del Silencio” (Eloy Vázquez). The fourth, published jointly with the University of Cantabria, was entitled “Santander, Port, History, Territory”. These publications have been incorporated into the
The long and complex process of the adoption of Portus Doc did not stop the Centre’s other work, although less progress has been made on digitalisation and description of the photographic archive and description of new documents transferred from the offices or stored from previous years.

The number of external consultations (65 in 2011 against 66 in 2010) as well as internal (58 in 2010 and 75 in 2011) has stayed relatively high. The 26 external users who requested services from the Centre consulted a total of 183 documents compared to 272 the previous year. The 23 internal users consulted 187 documents, including files, books and journals, 80 more than last year.
7.3.2 Service Management The requests for document services, especially consultations and loans, have been dealt with more efficiently thanks to the implementation of the “Portus Doc� platform, which, apart from improving the monitoring of the service itself by the Centre, expedites applications, optimises consultations and facilitates access to documentation, which is now often available in digitalised format.
Although the University of Cantabria is still the main user of these services, there was a significant number of consultations generated by research projects promoted by the Maritime Museum and the Municipality of Santander.

09 | PORT-CITY
2011 has been a key year for the future urban developmentof Santander’s seafront. Having set out the strategy of institutional collaboration required to carry out the waterfront development the previous year, 2011 saw all of these efforts and consensus coming together with the signing ofthe “Inter-Administrative Agreement for the Redevelopment of Waterfront of Santander” by the Municipality of Santander, the Government of Cantabria and the National Ports Authority on 19 March.
2011 was also the year which saw the coming into being of the two most important cultural and sporting initiatives for the city in recent years: The future creation of a new cultural centre in the Albareda area and the celebration of the Sailing World Championships in 2014. The new cultural centre is a response to the requirements of the “Redevelopment Project” to provide the new waterfront with cutting edge 21st Century cultural facilities. This will allow us to create a new urban benchmark and reposition Santander and its bay as the cultural capital of the Cantabrian coast. It will also serve as a catalyst to the rest of the city’s cultural facilities, the port’s Palacete del Embarcadero and Cabo Mayor Lighthouse Arts Centre and the city’s Regional Library, Maritime Museum, Festival Palace, etc.
This agreement has enabled the “Waterfront Redevelopment Project” to go forward, setting out the various commitments of the administrations involved and designing the means to execute the urban development aspect and specifying what is to be done in the various waterfront areas as well as the general structure of related costs and income. The aim of the project is, on the one hand, to improve the position of Santander as the prime hub of Cantabria, turning the waterfront into another focus of tourism and talent and, on the other, strengthening its business fabric to generate wealth and employment. This double objective will be achieved through urban and port planning to improve the waterfront environment and landscape of the City of Santander and the consolidation of a strategy to increase the competitiveness of the Port of Santander by improving its facilities and services and sustainable development of new infrastructures.
Santander, in conjunction with the Port Authority, has been designated as the venue for the Sailing World Championships in 2014. The excellent conditions of the Bay of Santander and the attractions of the city and waterfront have combined to make Santander the first choice for competitive sailing at the highest level. The World Championships will pose a new challenge for the waterfront development, demanding a fresh effort from the institutions involved and the creation of first class facilities for the event.
One of the Port of Santander’s undertakings included in the Agreement was to expedite the planning tools required to get the project under way. In 2011 the Port Authority commenced the modification of the “Demarcation of Port Spaces and Uses” in order to free up areas not suitable for port operations and include port-city uses in areas compatible with urban activity as a first step towards developing the Project.

Both projects will be developed within the port-city framework providing the waterfront with a new people-centred functionality. During 2011, the Port Authority of Santander took the first steps required to bring these projects to fruition in conjunction with the other parties involved, with a view to having these facilities in place by 2014. Amendments 9 and 10 have been put into action in the Passenger Terminal and San Martin areas respectively.These amendments to port planning are the first step in the development of these projects, which, through substantial investment, will bring about a new, open port waterfront with an innovative design which will become a sustainable and valuable asset to the city.

10.1 | PROMOTION OF SANTANDER AS A CRUISE DESTINATION
During June a familiarisation trip was organised for North American cruise operators. Itinerary planners from Norwegian Cruise Lines, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, Silversea, Residensea, Oceania-Regent Seven Seas. Representatives from the Spanish Tourist Office in Miami accompanied them during their visit. As well as getting to know our port, they also experienced some of the excursions on offer such as the Santander City Tour, Santoña, Laredo, Castro Urdiales, Cabarceno Wildlife Park, the Caves of Altamira and El Soplao, Santillana del Mar and the replica cave at Altamira, Comillas and San Vicente de la Barquera.
Regional Tourist Board, Port Authority and Port Community as well as the Police and Customs. The Port concentrated its efforts on the industry’s most important event, contracting its own stand at Seatrade Miami within the “Ports of Spain” Pavilion. There were nine cruise calls this year. Commemorative plaques were presented to the Aida Blu, Sea Dream I and Marina on the event of their first calls in our port.The smile and the eye design which adorn the Aida vessels are a regular feature in the Bay of Santander, whilst Sea Dream and Oceania Cruises are amongst the new clients which the Port Authority has attracted to our waters.
The Port of Santander hosted nine cruise calls and is fully committed to the development of cruise traffic. Proof of this can be seen in the joint efforts of the Santander Cruise Forum which takes care of every detail of each cruise call to guarantee a successful outcome. The Forum comprises all of the branches of the Administration involved in cruise traffic: Municipality of Santander, Chamber of Commerce,

10.2 | DRY PORTS
To enhance distribution of goods to its hinterland –the Meseta and Ebro Valley– and increase its level of competitiveness, the Port of Santander has shareholdings in two dry ports, Azuqueca de Henares close to Madrid from which a number of Santander-based companies are already operating and Santander-Ebro at Luceni, Zaragoza. These cargo hubs extend the port’s hinterland and provide value-added cargo services, attracting a wide range of maritime and land transport operators, freight forwarders and distributors. 10.5.1 Azuqueca Dry Port (Azuqueca de Henares, Guadalajara) Service area: Madrid and metropolitan area, Central Peninsular area Distance from Port of Santander: 400 km Area: 60,000 m2 The Azuqueca de Henares Dry Port offers distribution services for both containerised and general cargo, linking any Spanish port with central Spain by rail. It plays a major role in the distribution of newsprint to the capital.
The Dry Port provides value-added services to manufacturers and operators including handling, storage and checking of vehicles and cargo, multi-modal platform and customs depot.
Quality: The facility’s Rail Terminal has ISO 9001:2000 Certification for container handling, general cargo vehicles, storage and transport.
The following pre-delivery vehicle inspection services are available:
10.5.2 Santander-Ebro Dry Port (Luceni-Zaragoza) Service Area: Ebro Valley Distance from the Port of Santander: 400 km Area: 105,700 m2 Land has been acquired to expand the facility by a further 30,000 m2. 4,500 m2 Parking area Rail station on the Zaragoza-Alsasua line:
• Vehicle inspection and checking. • Bodywork repairs and painting. • De-waxing. • Washing and interior cleaning. The facility has 105,000 m2 for vehicle storage, management and preparation. Since the end of 2005 it has diversified, storing and handling road-borne containers.
• Double ramp train quay. • 2 x 275 m rail sidings. The Port of Santander has effectively extended its territory through its participation in the Santander-Ebro Dry Port located close to the busiest part of the Ebro Corridor. This dry port serves 60% of the national market being equidistant from the country’s main consumer centres (all within a radius of 300 km). It is located 400 km from the Port of Santander and is very close to the French border and other major ports.
