ANNUAL REPORT 2010 · CHAIRMAN’S FOREWORD · 5

This edition of the Port of Santander Annual Report, which once again I have the honour of presenting, contains objective evidence of a clear recovery in our key traffic sectors with a common denominator of robustness, consolidation and leadership. Those of us who work here on a daily basis know that this has not come about merely by chance, but is rather the logical result of a joint and continued effort by a group of dedicated professionals. In fact, the results obtained throughout 2010 were foreseen in previous reports, not only as regards the acquisition of new traffic but also new infrastructure which has given the Port of Santander a high degree of terminalisation and specialisation with intermodality at its core, allowing us to efficiently handle high value-added cargoes. The two most significant statistics from 2010 are the record figures achieved in passenger traffic and general cargo, making the Port of Santander leader in general cargo growth nationally. Of particular interest is the addition of a fifth weekly call by Brittany Ferries linking Santander and Portsmouth with the recently refurbished Cap Finisterre. Apart from guaranteeing a notable increase in passengers, vehicles and cargo it also connects Santander with one of the ports closest to London, positioning us as the gateway for traffic to and from England. Another reason for optimism was the celebration of the four millionth car handled in the port, proving that this traffic, in which Santander is leader on Spain’s North Atlantic coast, is now well consolidated. Our aim now is to continue growing, our sights set on the future, with important investments such as the new high-tonnage double ro-ro ramp at Raos Quay No. 8. On the other hand, in the same way that we have always believed that economic growth is totally compatible with care and respect for the environment and harmonious co-existence with our neighbours, we also feel that these more difficult times are no excuse for neglecting these aspects, but rather a reason for improving and going the extra mile. The signature of the Agreement for the Redevelopment of the Waterfront in the presence of the Minister for Development was more than a mere declaration of intentions, signifying for us the commencement of a historic project which will generate a new image of the Bay of Santander, creating wealth within the bounds of sustainability.

More than 65,000 trucks have used the Raos bridge during its first full year of operation, this is a highly relevant statistic not only from the port traffic standpoint, but also when considering the impact on the living conditions of the residents of the Castilla-La Hermida neighbourhood with the removal of this inconvenient and even dangerous through traffic. The intense cultural programme staged across five different port spaces has continued apace with nearly three hundred thousand visits to the exhibitions at the Palacete del Embarcadero over the last six years. 2010 marked the 25th anniversary of our first experience of cultural activities, a pioneering step in the Spanish port scene of 1985. To sum up, Santander can today boast a modern and sustainable port, a reality which not only delivers results here and now but also provides a basis for continued growth and reason to face the future with hope and optimism.

3. DIRECTOR’S REPORT Following the reduction in port traffic registered in 2009 as a result of the economic recession there has been something of a recovery in 2010, although we have not reached the record levels seen in 2005 and 2007 when the port handled in excess of five million tonnes, a figure which was first achieved in 1999. Against this background of recovery, total throughput during 2010 stood at 5,013,940 t, an increase of 11.8% over the previous year. Average growth in the national port system for 2010 was 4.4%, whilst for the five ports of the North Atlantic coast (Avilés, Gijón, Santander, Bilbao and Pasajes) the figure was 8.62%. The Port of Santander’s results for 2010 were substantially better than the overall national average and also above the average of its neighbouring ports. Port traffic is by nature inherently inconsistent, however the Port of Santander’s movements are generally slower during the first months of the year with a gradual increase as the year progresses, peaking during the third and fourth quarters. By the same token, passenger traffic and new vehicle movements are also seasonal. The months with the greatest volume of movements during 2010 were July with 498,971 t and November with 482,275 t. Liquid bulk, which made up more than 40% of total port throughput until the mid-eighties, is now a much less important element at around 8%. However, despite this modest presence, liquid bulk showed an increase of 3.8% on 2009 with 410, 651 t due to an increase in the volume of chemical products handled which in turn compensated for the decrease in bio-ethanol. Dry bulk movements were down last year, although not as markedly as 2009, with a drop of only 1.37% to stand at 2,879,604 t. Cereals, animal feed and thermal coal all showed significant reductions, whilst there were substantial increases in manganese, sodium carbonate and fertilisers although these were not sufficient to compensate the losses. It is worth emphasising the sizeable drop in thermal coal arising from the fact that the Guardo Power Plant imported no coal at all during 2010. This situation will remain unchanged for the duration of the support measures for national coal as established in Royal Decree 134/2010.

ANNUAL REPORT 2010 · DIRECTOR’S REPORT · 12

General cargo performed best of all with a total of 1,656,872 t, an increase of 33.5% on 2009 and an all-time record for the Port of Santander. None of the components which make up general cargo showed a decrease and new vehicle movements rose by 65.66%, recovering from the heavy losses seen during 2008 and 2009 caused by the economic recession. The significant increase in general cargo in the Port of Santander over the past decade coupled with a certain stagnation in dry bulk movements has resulted in a substantial change in the importance of the traffic components. At the beginning of this century dry bulk comprised around 70% of the port’s total traffic, whereas in 2010 it has fallen to 58%, whilst general cargo has increased from 24% to 33% in the same period. Apart from the beneficial diversification which this structural change implies, the port’s dependence on captive cargoes generated by nearby industrial demand has diminished whilst competitiveness compared to surrounding ports has increased. Towards the close of 2009 Brittany Ferries announced that it was to increase its regular passenger and cargo services between Santander and the United Kingdom to a total of five weekly calls during 2010 and there are now links to Portsmouth, Plymouth and Poole. This has been a significant factor in the port achieving two record traffic figures, ro-ro tonnage at 1,308,381 t and passengers at 246,700. The connection between Santander and the UK has been consolidated both with respect to intermodal traffic and tourism. With respect to vehicle traffic, in which the Port of Santander has achieved a high degree of specialisation, providing the automotive sector with an advanced level of quality and efficiency, 2010 closed with a total of 283,064 units handled, an increase of 59% over 2009. This implies a substantial recovery following the fall in numbers which commenced in 2008 and worsened in 2009 as a consequence of the economic crisis and its specific impact on the automotive sector. The port has maintained its familiar broad range of clients during 2010 whilst adding imports from Ford, who have selected the Port of Santander as the Spanish distribution point for its German-manufactured vehicles. This has allowed the Port of Santander to continue to play a very active role as a vehicle distribution centre, both for imports and exports. Net income for 2010 was 20,012,760.64 euros, which includes duties and fees for services provided by the Port Authority throughout the year as well as for concessions. Operating costs (staff and other costs) amounted to 14,366,558.38 euros, being 12.1% down on the previous year. Taking into account amounts offset against fixed assets, provisions, income and extraordinary expenses, an operational profit of 1,485,213.54 euros was achieved,

ANNUAL REPORT 2010 · DIRECTOR’S REPORT · 13

which added to the financial income of 538,628.70 euros, gives a positive income for 2010 of 2,023,842.24 euros. Details of the Profit and Loss Accounts and the Balance at the close of 2010 are given in this Report in line with the requirements of the General Accounting Plan and the accounting rules applicable to public port entities. Following the signature of the General Agreement of Intentions for the Redevelopment of the Waterfront of Santander Santander Port Waterfront Project by the Port Authority of Santander, the Municipality of Santander, the National Ports Authority and the Government of Cantabria, a Work Group was set up with technicians from both the Municipality of Santander and the Port Authority which, in line with Clause Ten of the Agreement, drew up a Master Plan. Based on the Master Plan, an Inter-Administration Cooperation Agreement for the Urban Redevelopment of the Santander Port Waterfront Santander Port Waterfront Project was drawn up and signed by the Ministry of Development, Port Authority of Santander, Municipality of Santander, National Ports Authority and the Government of Santander on 11 March 2011. During 2010 the redevelopment works for the road system on Raos North Dock were completed and the road network has now been brought in line with the new traffic scenario following the opening of the bridge linking Raos and Maliaño in June 2009. This process will be completed in 2011 with the upgrading of the Maliaño port area road system, the contract process for these works was at an advanced stage by the close of 2010. The Port of Santander’s Infrastructure Plan has been following environmental procedures throughout 2010 in line with Law 9/2006 of 29 April. Following the statutory consultations to determine whether the Plan might have significant environmental effects, the Ministry of the Environment a provisional report was issued by the Department of Environmental Quality and Evaluation in April 2010. The report concludes that the Plan should be submitted for environmental evaluation, whilst approving the Guidelines for the Environmental Sustainability Report, which is being drawn up by the Port Authority in conjunction with the Environmental Hydraulics Institute of the University of Cantabria. As part of the ongoing port service improvements programme, the port authority commenced the installation of a new high resolution fixed-camera video surveillance system to provide detailed monitoring of port operations and activities. The new cameras are equipped with high resolution digital imaging and can record images from any part of their given control sectors. Recording is continuous and stored in a dedicated server and since the cameras are static the image quality is exceptionally high.

ANNUAL REPORT 2010 · DIRECTOR’S REPORT · 14

Amongst the highlights of the client attention and commercial promotion activities programme carried out during 2010 were the third annual ANFAC meeting designed to promote quality enhancement in the automotive sector and the First Port of Santander Major Clients Meeting. Towards the close of 2010 the Port Authority marked the occasion of the four millionth vehicle handled through the port, which was a Volkswagen Polo on its way to Emden. As in previous years Santander was present at the Miami Seatrade Cruise Exhibition within the Spanish Ports Pavilion in conjunction with the Costa Verde Cruise Association. Following the signature in 2009 of the Cooperation Agreement for the creation of CITAP (International Centre for Port Technology and Administration) by the University of Cantabria, the Menéndez Pelayo International University, National Ports Authority, Government of Cantabria and the Port Authority of Santander, the Centre has taken over the training role hitherto undertaken by the Aula del Mar. Amongst the first year’s activities were the XI LatinAmerican Port Technology, Operations and Environmental Management Course, IV Port Cluster Sessions and a number of seminars carried out in various South American countries. The Port Authority maintained its now traditional support for cultural, recreational sporting activities during 2010 working with various public and private organisations on a number of events, one of the prime venues being the Palacete del Embarcadero whose location and facilities have made it one of the most popular galleries in Santander. Special mention should be made here of the Port’s support for the Santander International Festival, which celebrated its 59th edition in 2010. As in 2009, the Port Authority sponsored a concert within the Festival’s Symphonic Cycle performed by the Philadelphia Pop and Symphony Orchestra , which was a brilliant success. It only remains for me to thank the Port Authority staff for their work and cooperation, as well as those others from the numerous outside organisations and companies which work together with the Port of Santander. All of them have contributed with their efforts to enable the Port to carry out its strategic role in the local and national economies.

4.2 MAIN CARGOES The following graph shows the most important cargoes and their trends over the last five years: 2006 to 2010. The negative trends of some dry bulks such as coal and cement can be seen throughout this period and this has had a direct impact on throughput loss in the Port of Santander. Ro-ro cargo has improved and the recovery of manganese and vehicle throughput following the fall in 2009 can be easily observed.

Breakdown by Operation The Port of Santander is a Destination port although incoming cargo represented 61.5% of total traffic during 2010.

4.4 RO-RO TRAFFIC AND PASSENGERS Two records were broken in 2010, ro-ro traffic and passenger movements. This is mainly thanks to the ferry services which link Santander with the south of England. • The previous highest ro-ro tonnage was 1,006,864 t in 2008 and the figure for 2010 was 1,308,381 t. • The most passengers recorded was also in 2008 with 165,176 and in 2010 this has risen to 239,037. The following areas will be analysed in this section: 1. Overall roro traffic by quay. 2. Vehicle traffic by make of vehicle and volume handled through the port. 3. Positive trend of intermodal traffic by trailers and trucks over the last five years, with a breakdown by country. 4. Ferry roro and passenger traffic. 5. Cruise passengers.

4.4.3 Truck and Trailer Intermodal Traffic Trend Two quantitative leaps may be observed in intermodal traffic: • 2008, due to the new ferry service which commenced in 2007, linking Santander with the UK (CONTENTIN). A new container on light trailer (cassette) service also commenced with Finland primarily handling paper. • 2010, with the start of two more regular calls to the UK (Cap Finistere). A ro-ro service with Belgian ports came on-stream in mid-2009 and in 2010 1,871 units were handled compared to 700 in 2009. This comes as a result of the extension of the route to other European ports. Cargo carried on these trailers tends to be iron and steel products, chemicals, paper and construction materials.

4.4.4 Ferry Traffic (Ro-ro and Passengers) The most important elements here are the regular passenger and cargo services to three ports in Southern England. The vessels operating on these lines, which together made 217 calls during 2010, were: • Pont-Aven or Bretagne, the established passenger and cargo service to Plymouth and Portsmouth with two calls per week. The Pont Aven made 81 calls during 2010 handling 98,971 t as against 62,592 in 2009. The Bretagne made seven calls and handled 3,081 t. • Cotentin, short sea shipping line with the Port of Poole, carrying truck-borne freight and passengers/drivers with one weekly call. During 2010 she made 51 calls and handled 264,549 t. • Cap Finistere, entered service on the passenger and cargo line in March 2010 with two calls per week. During 2010 she made 78 calls and handled 280,415 t.

5.1 BALANCE As at 31 December 2010 the Port Authority of Santander showed a balance of 342 million euros, a reduction of 4 million euros in the course of the year. Non-current assets, consisting entirely of real estate, comprise the bulk of the Port Authority’s equity. At the close of 2010 this stood at 314 million euros, a percentage reduction of 2%. Current assets increased by 2.5 million euros during 2010 and represent 8% of total assets. At the close of the period Equity stood at 296 million euros, of which 254 million euros corresponded to assets, 40 million euros to reserves and 2 million to profits. During the course of the year assets rose by 2 million euros. Third party financing over periods greater than one year was reduced to 1,400,000 euros. The Port Authority of Santander is resorting to a greater degree to short term external finance. Whilst this stood at 5.6 million euros in 2009, at the close of 2010 the figure was reduced to 4.1 million euros, mainly as a result of a reduction in the amount of short term debt.

5.2 PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT The Port Authority of Santander closed the year with an operating profit of close to 1.5 million euros. Income for the period including the financial result showed a profit of 2 million euros to which extraordinary income made a significant contribution.

6.1 INFRASTRUCTURES 6.1.1 Brief description of the most important works New Access to the Malia帽o Quay The bridge over the Malia帽o Basin has two lanes for road traffic and carries both RENFE standard and FEVE narrow gauge rail track. The bridge has a total length of 273 metres comprising two fixed sections measuring 84 metres and a 72 metre span made up of two elevating sections. It has been in service throughout 2010 and provides a solution to the problem of truck traffic crossing the city. roro Vessel Facility at Raos Quay No. 8 A joint investment co-financed with EU cohesion funds, the facility has been in operation throughout 2010 and a number of improvements have been made to the control system. Financial settlement has been made and the installation has successfully passed both the Ministry of Development and the EU inspection and testing procedures. Extension of Raos North roadway and Development of Lot 7.3.1. This project involved widening the Northern access road between the roundabout opposite the Raos Western Control Point and the intersection of the rail lines next to the old Northern Control Point (580 metres). The road was widened to 22 metres, incorporating four lanes and pavements. The development of Lot 7.3.1. was also undertaken to equip the 39,344 m2 area with drainage, lighting and other services. The works were commenced in July 2009 and completed during 2010 and the facilities are now operational. Raos Quay No. 9 A new multi-purpose quay is planned for the Raos Central Dock as a consequence of traffic growth, diversification and the need for more berthing. The solution at Raos Quay No. 9 consists in the construction of a 290.90 m quay built of reinforced concrete caissons with a draught of 13.00 metres, which may be deepened to 14.50 m. The project has been commissioned and the tender offer has been published. It is expected that the project will be awarded in the Spring of 2011.

Road Network in the Logistics Area This project is located on the former CLH lot, which has been designated for development as a Logistics Centre, and comprises three roads and two roundabouts carrying traffic to and from the various warehouses which will be set up in the area. One of the roads will link up with the Wissocq estate network and with the fish market area, whilst the other will serve as access to the rest of the facilities in line with the Port of Santander Development Plan. The works, which included the corresponding service networks, were commenced in August 2009 and completed during February 2010. The new road system is now fully operational. Remodelling of the road system in the Logistics Centre area This investment is intended to increase vehicle traffic capacity to cope with the increase in vehicle movements resulting from the opening of the new bridge spanning the basin which carries all of the cargo moving through the Maliaño area. The section of Calle Peña Prieta which borders with the future Logistics Centre was incorporated into the customs area as a direct prolongation of the bridge with two lanes in each direction thus linking up with the project described in Extension of the Raos North Roadway. The works also included the realignment of the outer perimeter of the Service Area on the western side and the incorporation of land into the Logistics Centre, as well as remodelling the interchange of the old Raos North Control Point. The works, which were awarded in November 2009, were completed in July 2010. The road system is now fully operational. Redevelopment of the Dique de Gamazo area The area was declared a Site of Cultural Interest by the Government of Cantabria and is included in the port public estate. The Dry Dock and the surrounding area are included in the classification as well as the northern cast iron fencing and pavement as well as the former pump house. In view of the amount of time elapsed since it was last used for ship repairs it requires complete refurbishment with low-maintenance materials. Waterfront Redevelopment This project involves a large proportion of the area along the port/city limits. Its scope is being defined through contacts and meetings with the various authorities involved. Roadways on Raos Central Dock The traffic circulating in an East-West direction on the Terquisa road interferes with traffic circulating from South to North from the storage compounds to the vessel or vice-versa. This investment is designed to provide an alternative route for the first traffic group which will be able to reach the eastern end of the Central Dock via a new roadway along its southern side. A number of new roundabouts and complementary facilities are to be constructed. The crossing points over the railway track are also to be concreted. The works will commence at the beginning of 2011 and will be completed by August. Upgrading and repairs to the roads on the Maliaño Docks Both rail and road traffic has been redistributed following the opening of the bridge over the Maliaño basin. With the new traffic configuration some of the rail lines can be eliminated and the remainder upgraded. Roads and service networks in the area of the Maliaño Docks from the Northern Margin Quay to the area of the Naval Headquarters building will also be included in the project. Work is expected to start in February 2011. Increasing Draught at Raos Dock No. 1 Dry bulk fleets are rapidly evolving to take into account the future possibilities of the Panama Canal. The current 13 m draught available at Raos Dock No. 1 excludes a number of vessels already in existence. Once the necessary geo-technical survey has been carried out the draught will be increased to 14.5 m. The construction project is being drawn up.

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. Work is expected to commence in the Spring of 2011. Perimeter enclosure of the Las Quebrantas lot, located opposite the Sotoliva Building The lot known as Las Quebrantas, formerly Fina de Maderas Lantero located opposite the Sotoliva Building, an area of 8,657.36 m2 and property of the Port Authority of Santander, was in an advanced state of disrepair. There were numerous breaks in the fencing which allowed access particularly to children with the consequent risk of accidents. The Port Authority has installed a 384 m hot galvanised wire plastic-covered perimeter fence to provide maximum safety for this area. Installation of 66o m of perimeter fencing on a lot in the Actimarsa estate next to the Parayas Airport property A 660 m galvanised wire green plastic-covered perimeter fence was also erected on a 40,043 m2 lot on the Raos Estate next to the RTVE headquarters which has a boundary to the south with the Parayas Airport and to the north with the road which leads to the Marina. The intention was to provide the area, which is the site of possible future concessions, with the maximum security possible. Installation of 190 m of polyethylene pipeline for water supply to vessels at Raos Dock No. 7 A high density 110 mm pipeline was installed to supply water to Raos Dock No. 7, replacing the previous fibre cement pipeline which contained asbestos and may have constituted a health risk. Manufacture and supply of two floating fender units to be installed on the Anaos Dock Following a study of the Almirante Dock, which will be the Port’s new cruise vessel berth, two floating caissons were designed. Manufactured and installed. They are internally reinforced to support four sets of SUC-800-H fenders which had been recuperated from other quays and will protect the sides of vessels during berthing manoeuvres at this dock. Supply of 10 molded polyethylene buoys for installation in the Pedreña Channel In order to improve navigational safety levels for users and passengers in the Pedreña Channel, the Maritime Signalling Unit acquired and installed 10 high impact-resistant, low maintenance, molded polyethylene buoys, filled with closed cell polyurethane foam and complete with galvanised steel fittings, which meet IALA specifications. The buoys are complete with UV resistant coatings for increased daytime visibility, passive radar reflectors and may be fitted with autonomous beacons. Restoration of the former crane operators changing room in Maliaño located in the annexe to Shed No. 5 for use as a female changing room for the Port Police The former crane operators changing room located in the annexe to Shed No. 5 was converted to a female changing room for the Port Police. Acquisition of two vehicles for Port Police and Security Service Two inoperative vehicles have been exchanged for two new medium-range vehicles with top of the range safety, consumption, comfort, etc. to help the service carry out its tasks more efficiently.

6.3 THE PORT AUTHORITY’S QUALITY AND ENVIROMENTAL POLICY The Importance of the Environment 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. The Port Authority’s Quality and enviromental Policy is available to the general public here: www.puertosantander.com 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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2010 · STRATEGIC, TACTICAL AND OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT · 41

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 during 2010: Environmental Initiatives • GIS for monitoring potentially contaminated surfaces. • GIS to measure air quality and particle emissions generated in the Port of Santander. • Reduction of percentage of residues permitted in port operations. • Review, update and approval of the Port of Santander Environment Regulations. Quality Initiatives • Optimisation of natural resources: water. • Improvements to email. • Computerised monitoring of land use.

6.3.1.2 Atmospheric Emissions 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 HADA-LIFE project (Automatic Environmental Diagnostic Tool) with the participation of the National Ports Association and a further seven Port Authorities. Environmental variables such as wind speed and direction 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 1073/2002.

as the previous year. The main commodities affected by the environmental stoppages caused by adverse weather conditions were sodium sulphate and potash (fertilisers in general). Other cargoes such as sepiolite, soya and rapeseed flours, zinc briquettes and concentrate were also affected to a lesser degree. The increased number of stoppages compared to 2009 may be explained by the greater volume of cargo as well as by an increase in heavy gusts of southerly winds. On the other hand, the new Bulk Terminal, which is now fully operational, has removed the requirement for stockpile sprinkling. This has greatly improved particle emission levels within the port and has doubtless contributed to an improvement in the quality of handling of problematic commodities such as coal and clinker. Work continued on the new Agri-Bulk Terminal which had been awarded to Fiochi Estibadores S.A. Although the works were halted for a time during 2010, completion is expected towards the end of 2011. The terminal is aims to be set a benchmark for the handling of this type of cargo in the North of Spain, both operationally and environmentally. 2010 also work commence on the new Powder Bulk Terminal which will be located on Raos North Quay alongside the Agri-Bulk Terminal. The terminal, whose construction was awarded to Raos Aditivos para la Construcción S.L. Is expected to improve the environmental problems associated with the handling of this type of commodity. PM10 data recorded during 2010 were as follows: PM10: 29,67 µg/m3 (within the maximum legal calue of 40 µg/m3). Number of occasions on which the daily health limit was exceeded = 5 (not in excess of legal limit = 35 occasions per year).

6.3.1.3 Noise Levels The Port Authority’s annual Monitoring Programme monitors noise levels within the port complex as well as background noise generated by non-port activities (mainly urban traffic). Dring 2010 no conclusive difference was observed between background noise levels and the total daily activity noise levels as monitored at Control Points 1,2,3,4,11 and 12, which cover the residential areas closest to the docks. Control points 1, 4 and 11 registered background noise levels in excess of the limits established in the Port of Santander Environmental Regulations (65dBA).

6.3.1.4 Spillage. Water Quality Run-off water from the port’s collectors is analysed annually in accordance with the Port Authority’s Run-Off Monitoring Programme. The evolution of pollution parameters and the effectiveness of the corrective measures are checked periodically at the control points listed in the Department of the Environment Run-off Register. The Port of Santander Cleaning Service pelican-type launch recovered a total of 303,30 t of solid waste from port waters during 2010. Apart from collecting solid waste, the vessel has a high-pressure water jet to clean walls, steps and breakwaters and can be used as back-up to clean and dilute fuel spills within the port. Throughout 2010 work has continued on the Cooperation Agreement with the University of Cantabria to develop the project known as Application of ROM 5.1. Water quality in port areas in the Port of Santander which was signed in 2007. The final report setting out results is due to be presented at the beginning of 2011. The studies are aimed at developing an integrated environmental management solution for port waters in compliance with European Water Framework Directive 2000/60/CE.

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 –t previously stood at 0.19%– in order to minimise waste and improve the environmental quality of port operations. The downward trend in waste generation has continued in vessel operations with an average of 0.4% of waste per call.

6.3.1.6 Soils In February 2007 the Port Authority filed its Preliminary Ground Report for the Ministry of the Environment, to comply with Royal Decree 9/2005, which sets out the list of potentially ground-contaminating activities. The Port Authority is the operator of an activity listed in Annex I (section 63.22 of the listing of National Economic Activities) as activities connected to maritime transportation. A study was carried out during 2007 and 2008 entitled Identification of potentially ground contaminating activities, associated substances and NGR’s of concessionary companies in the Port of Santander with regard to Royal Decree 9/2005, to obtain as broad a picture as possible of the soil conditions in the concessions to which the Decree is applicable. The study concludes that the concessions engaged in activities within the Port of Santander represent a low risk of ground pollution. The activities handle hazardous products in small quantities, which are normally related to machinery maintenance. The main danger is from small-scale spillages of these substances. Since 2009, in conjunction with the Ministry of the Environment and the private company EMGRISA , a soil classification study has been carried out on state-held property, including the Service Area of the Port of Santander. The objective was to determine the presence of pollutants in the sub-soil in accordance with Royal Decree 9/2005. In the event that such contaminants were found an Environmental Risk Evaluation (ERE) would be carried out. The results of the ERE carried out by EMGRISA indicate that, under current and future conditions of use, levels of contamination in the sub-soil and subterranean waters of the areas investigated within the Port do not represent a significant risk to anyone working in the area or its surroundings, nor to anyone living close by. In 2010 a an Agreement was signed between the National Ports Authority and the Port Authority of Santander to undertake the classification of contaminated soils. In November 2010 the subterranean waters of the piezometric system installed in the Port were monitored to evaluate their environmental quality situation. The Environmental Risk Evaluation was updated in line with the results obtained.

Electrical Energy Electricity consumption rose in 2010 due to the increased use of roro ramps and the operation of the Raos Bridge throughout the year. There were also new lighting systems in the CLH area and the storage parks next to the Marcano warehouse in the Raos area.

Water There was an important reduction in overall water consumption in the Port of Santander during 2010 compared to 2009 (27.71%), whilst water charged to third parties rose (8.98%), whilst the Port Authority’s consumption also fell substantially (41,54%). This situation is in part due to an improvement in the port’s collector network and also the increase in port traffic. There was a substantial reduction in water consumption in cleaning and sprinkling operations on the quays over the last few years (more than 50% between 2007-2010). This is due to improvements in the cleaning equipment (new equipment was purchased in 2009), the coming onstream of the Dry Bulk Terminal, preventive environmental measures during loading and unloading of bulk commodities and, more generally, a drop in port traffic for the period compared to previous years, although this has recovered somewhat during 2009 and 2010. Water consumption in port facilities rose by 8.98% compared to 2009, due to increased port traffic and activity in the concessions.

Works and repairs are subject to the Port of Santander Environmental Regulations which allow for environmental variables to be applied to infrastructure operations. 6.3.1.13 Compliance with legislation The Port Authority has taken significant steps to ensure that port operators reduce atmospheric pollution levels and the move towards the construction of specialised terminals is the best proof of this. The Dry Bulk Terminal commenced operations in 2007. Currently, the Agri-bulk and Powder Products Terminals are both under construction on Raos North Quay and due for completion towards the end of 2011. In order to adapt basic services to the requirements of Law 48/2003, quality and environmental clauses are being introduced to improve and monitor the service. Furthermore, operators of concessions within the Port Service Area are subject to their waste waters being connected to the Bay Integrated Sewerage System, as well as submission of preliminary ground studies for those concession activities bound by relevant legislation.

6.4 IT DEPARTMENT 6.4.1 IT Department Report The IT Department has made a major effort during 2010 to reduce costs whilst maintaining quality levels. The following is a brief description of the most important projects undertaken over the year. A Linux server with Asterisk has been installed to upgrade the telephone service whilst reducing costs by allowing the integration of the conventional switchboard (Alcatel 4400). The aim is to extend the switchboard services beyond the limits of the Port network using VOIP. This will allow the existing telephone extensions to be used wherever there is an internet connection. The following services are available with this system: • Creation of 10 audio conference rooms, each with capacity for 10 participants, internal and/or external. • Remote use of telephone extensions when connected via internet. • Integration of MS Outlook 2007 with the telephone service for incoming as well as outgoing calls. • Reduction in call costs. • In roaming mode call cost may be zero when using VOIP. • Use of VOIP operators for cost reduction on international calls.

A project has commenced to develop a video surveillance system based on a set of high resolution cameras: 16 megapixels providing detailed monitoring of port operations. Initially the system comprises a single fixed camera arranged longitudinally to the quay which will permit viewing from any authorised computer of the rest of the cameras which will make up the system at a later date. As this is a high resolution digital image, close-ups from any area of the image with scarcely no loss of quality. The system has the capacity to create a large number of close-ups, giving the operator the impression of multiple cameras. The images are stored in a server at the rate of one image per second and there is a total capacity of 21 days storage. The advantages of this new video surveillance system include: • Continuous image recording with no loss of quality and with reference to a predetermined area/frame. • Capacity to take multiple frames of the same image, without losing track of the action as happens with a conventional system when changing frames. • Flexibility and ease of management and maintenance compared to conventional systems. A new data centre has been created in the ground floor of the Sotoliva building, which will replace the current facility housed in an annexe to the main building. The DPC meets all current security requirements such as: • Redundant power supply. • Access control. • Temperature, humidity, fire and flood monitoring. • Early fire warning. • Automatic gas fire extinguishing sysytem. All of he equipment will be transferred from the old data centre during 2011. Apart from increasing system security, the new facility will be more energy efficient and therefore more economical. A new presentation facility has been created with space for 35 people on the ground floor of the Sotoliva building for institutional and commercial presentations, student visits, Port Authority staff training and training for Port company employees. An employee portal has been set up via which, from 2011, employees will be able to access salary details, annual salary certificates and advise sickness leave, births, etc. A nnew service has commenced within the Port’s electronic headquarters https://sede.puertosantander.es which will invoice clients using various formats including PDF and facturae. The latter is aimed at companies that wish to incorporate invoices into their ERP automatically. The service will also allow the Port to automatically receive invoices from providers. The process of physical to virtual server migration has continued with a consequent reduction in hardware maintenance costs and electrical consumption. At the close of 2010, the Port had two physical servers which contained 20 virtual servers.

7.1 INTERNATIONAL PORT TECHNOLOGY AND ADMINISTRATION CENTRE: CITAP 7.1.1 Introduction The Port Authority of Santander has been very involved in training for the port sector since 1985. The regular organisation of courses and seminars in close cooperation with the University of Cantabria and the Menéndez Pelayo International University culminating in the establishment of the Aula del Mar Rector Jordá in 2002. Around fifty courses have been imparted over the years, making the Aula a benchmark for port training both at a national and international level, particularly in Latin America. The International Centre for Port Technology and Administration arose from these beginnings to become a centre of excellence in the sphere of intellectual resource management with a Latin American focus, committed to the generation, application and dissemination of knowledge specific to the port sector. CITAP forms part of the International Water and Energy Campus within the Cantabria International Campus, which in turn is one of the Spanish University International Excellence Campuses promoted by the Ministries of Science and Education and Innovation as part of a scheme to situate the Spanish University system at the forefront of Europe by 2015. CITAP was announced by the Minister for Development D. José Blanco at the beginning of July 2009 and was founded in September 2009 following the signature of a Cooperation Agreement between the University of Cantabria, the Menéndez Pelayo International University, National Ports Authority, Government of Cantabria and the Port Authority of Santander. Although the project is based in Santander and is the fruit of an alliance of public bodies and organisations, it is open to participation from companies and other organisations interested in projects aimed at promoting the growth and expansion of the Knowledge Economy within the port sector.

Aside from its five main promoters, CITAP’s institutional and know-how support comes from a range of public and private organisations at a national and local level with direct or indirect links to the port sector. CITAP aims to excel in the generation of fresh ideas and knowledge designed to inspire innovative steps along the path of port industry modernisation and progress through the two main channels of training and research and innovation. CITAP hopes to contribute to and increase the intellectual capital of the port sector enhancing the professionalism and development of its workforce through ongoing training programmes. At the same time it must promote and stimulate research, innovation and entrepreneurial aspects thus contributing to the scientific, technical and technological knowledge base through the generation of new techniques in various strategic fields.

7.1.2 Institutional Management The Cooperation Agreement provides for a Management Commission to promote and stimulate its transition form the project stage to an organisation in its own right. The ten member Commission –two from each signatory organisation– was constituted on 12 January.

National Ports Authority** Mr. Ignacio Rodríguez Sánchez-Arévalo | Deputy Manager of R+D+I Mr. Javier Martín Santo-Domingo | Deputy Manager of Service Regulation of the Department of Planning and Development ** Jointly or separately

Menéndez Pelayo International University Mrs. María Cruz Díaz Álvarez | Vice-Rector of Academic Planning University of Cantabria Mr. Iñigo Losada Rodríguez | Doctor of the Institute of Environmental Hydraulics IH CANTABRIA Port Authority of Santander Mr. Javier de la Riva Fernández | Director

Javier Álvarez Garía was also nominated Secretary of the Executive Commission. These two bodies have centred their efforts on defining and implementing the Centre’s administrative and organisational model, the study and approval of a Strategic Plan and programming the Centre’s activities. The firm of J & A Garrigues was commissioned to study the most appropriate legal framework for CITAP in line with its stated mission and the varied nature of its promoters as well as to advise the Commission during the transition phase until it is constituted as an entity in its own right.

ANNUAL REPOT 2010 · INTERNATIONAL PORT TECHNOLOGY AND ADMINISTRATION CENTRE: CITAP · 62

Another of the commitments of the Agreement was the elaboration of a Strategic Plan to define the mission and aims of the Centre as well as to programme its activities. This task was entrusted to Rational Time, a spin-off of the Polytechnic University of Cataluña. During 2010 contacts were made with public and private entities directly or indirectly linked to the port sector on a local, national and international level to publicise the formation of CITAP and seek support. Five Cooperation Agreements have been signed by the Port Authority of Santander with various organisations, since for the time being CITAP cannot undertake any commitments in its own right. 12 January 2010. Cooperation Agreement with Citta D’Aqua International Centre, Venice (Italy) to undertake joint ventures in the sphere of port-city relations. 25 February 2010. Signature of an agreement with Ove Arup & Partners to develop the SuPort tool, which is intended to evaluate port sustainability. 4 March 2010. Signature of an agreement with Bergé Marítima S.L. to stimulate cooperation with CITAP. 10 March 2010. Signature of an agreement with RETE, an international association for cooperation between ports and cities designed to promote cooperation with CITAP in this field. 23 April 2010. Signature of an agreement with ERZIA Technologies S.L. a company operating in satellite telecommunications to promote cooperation with CITAP in this field. Another of the aspects to receive attention during the year was the definition and construction of CITAP’s corporate identity and its communication strategies in order to situate the Centre within its area of operations with the desired profile. Four main lines of action were decided upon: public and institutional projection; the confection of a logo; design, conception and production of a website; the study of the strategic placement of CITAP. A logo was designed to be used on stationery as well as commemorative material such as plaques and corporate gifts. The website is another key factor in the identity of CITAP as well as being vital to its operability. The Centre’s website was designed during 2010 with particular attention to its visual impact and ease of use. The trademarks and names generated by the Centre are considered a fundamental part of its image and identity. The term CITAP, the acronym of Centro Internacional de Tecnología y Administración Portuaria has been registered as has the domain name CITAP.NET.

7.1.3 Headquarters and Campus CITAP acquired a location for its offices during 2010 within the La Cerda Lighthouse facility at the eastern tip of the Magdalena Park, Santander. This is an emblematic location since, prior to its use as a lighthouse, it was the site of the San Carlos de la Cerda fortification, one of a number of defensive structures which protected the Bay from seaborne attacks. Renovated by the Port Authority during 1999 and 2000 and equipped as a training centre, the Faro facilities have been used as the centre for the academic activities of the Aula del Mar Rector Jordá, meetings and receptions organised by the Port of Santander as well as the location of a number of the UIMP’s summer courses and workshops. The Port Authority commissioned a project for the improvement of the surroundings of the buildings focussing on the outer fence, entry gate, pavement, exterior lighting, landscaping, outdoor furnishing, etc. An institutional tour of the facilities was organised on 9th April coinciding with the visit to Santander by the Minister of Development. Mr Blanco was accompanied on the visit by the Vice-president of the Government of Cantabria, Dolores Gorostiaga; the Minister of Industry and Technological Development, Juan Jose Sota; the Delegate of the Government in Cantabria, Agustin Jesús Ibáñez; the Chairman of the National Ports Authority, Fernando Gonzalez Laxe; the Chairman of the Port Authority of Santander, Christian Manrique Valdor; the Director of Development of the Delegation of the Government in Cantabria, Benjamín Piña; theVice-rector of Coordination of the Campus of Excellence, Gonzalo Capellán; the Director of the Port Authority of Santander, Javier de la Riva; and the Director of Institutional Relations and Technological Innovation of the National Ports Authority, Álvaro Sánchez Manzanares.

The UIMP has loaned its Campus de las Llamas facilities located on the Avenida de los Castros to CITAP for its training activities. The Campus, which has buildings with lecture halls as well as student accommodation, was the location for the XI edition of the Ibero-American Port Technology, Operations and Environmental Management Course and the 2nd Intermodal, Port Logistics and Short Sea Shipping Course.

The network of educational facilities linked to CITAP extended to Latin America through cooperation with the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation and Development via its Specialised Ibero-American Technical Training Programme. CITAP staged courses entitled Innovation, Competitveness and Port Development and The Challenges of the Contemporary Port City: Urban Port Development and Environmental Sustainability at its Montevideo and Cartagena de las Indias Training Centres, respectively.

7.1.4 Training 7.1.4.1 CITAP International Postgraduate Programme CITAP’s postgraduate course programme was designed during 2010. The preliminary result is a programme with an international profile whose academic content and organisation are based on the philosophy, directives and educational framework established for the European Higher Education Space. Teaching responds to a study programme with varying levels and cycles through which a range of qualifications may be accessed adapted to the requirements of the multi-disciplinary professional workforce currently engaged in the port system. The programme is structured around four elements: Ongoing Training Courses (seminars and meetings); Specialisation Courses; Expert Courses, Master in Port Administration and Management and Doctorate in Science and Technology for Port Management. The Specialisation Courses are the basis of nearly all the postgraduate qualifications which CITAP has to offer. 7.1.4.2 Courses, seminars and conferences In accordance with the agreement, CITAP has taken over the training activities which, thusfar, had been the responsibility of the Aula del Mar. Consequently, its academic programme included the XI edition of the IberoAmerican Port Technology, Operations and Environmental Management Course and the 2nd Intermodal, Port Logistics and Short Sea Shipping Course. One of the most important aspects of 2010 were the six training events organised in three Latin American countries : Costa Rica, Colombia and Uruguay.

ANNUAL REPOT 2010 · INTERNATIONAL PORT TECHNOLOGY AND ADMINISTRATION CENTRE: CITAP · 65

There is ongoing cooperation with the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation and Development and within this framework two seminars were organised Innovation, Competitiveness and Port Development and the 4th International Port/City Relations Course entitled The Challenges of the Contemporary Port City: Urban Port Development and Environmental Sustainability at its Montevideo and Cartagena de las Indias Training Centres, respectively. In line with the Twinning Agreement signed between the Port Authority of Santander and the company Sociedad Proyecto Archimedes, which was formed to promote the development of a deep-water port on the Pacific coast of Columbia, CITAP was invited to participate in an event entitled Tribugá, Sustainable Port Development, which was held in Quibdo and Medellín. As part of a Technological Mission a workshop was organised with the company to showcase the Spanish experience of port management, sustainability and innovation. Finally, the Sociedad Arquímedes and the Port of Tribugá requested an adapted training course which took the form of a seminar/workshop entitled Port, City and Territory, Columbia, El Chocó, Bay of Tribugá, which took place in Pereira. In Costa Rica, in cooperation with the state distance learning university, PROCIP, JAPDEVA and RETE, a seminar was organised entitled Urban Port Development of Limón; Urgent Action and Planning Required. Finally, continuing the established cooperation with the Valencia Port Foundation and the National Ports Authority in the alternate organisation of an event dedicated to innovation in the port sector, CITAP participated in the Port Cluster held in Valencia during which dealt with subjects such as the politics of innovation and public-private cooperation, the application of information technology to logistics management, safety, etc. The following training activities were organised during 2010 at the CITAP facilities:

Other Courses, Seminars and Activities Apart from working with the University of Cantabria and the Men茅ndez Pelayo International University, CITAP also helped organise a number of other activities. CITAP supported the European School of Short Sea Shipping to organise two editions of the SURCO workshop Railway Operations Gij贸n-Santander, a training programme for professionals engaged in port-rail transportation operations. The first course took place between 20 - 23 February and the second between 20 - 23 November.

On 29 July the La Cerda Lighthouse facilities were used for a meeting of the Monitoring Commission of the COMODALWEB research project which is financed by the Ministry of Development. On the 8th and 9th September the facilities were again made available for the XV Conference on Health and Gender organised by the Department of Health of the Government of Cantabria and the Ministry of Equality. In November there was a meeting of the International Association of Port Law. CITAP also cooperated with the Department of Merchant Shipping on SANTANDER 2010 which took place on 26th and 27th May in the Bay of Santander, an international exercise designed to test coordination between local, national and international administrations and services in the event of an accident at sea. The accident simulated in this case was a collision between an oil tanker and ro-ro passenger vessel and the La Cerda Lighthouse facilities were used as the emergency coordination centre.

7.1.5.1 SuPort Project, sustainable ports Following the agreement between Ove Arup & Partners and the Port Authority of Santander, SuPort was developed by the two partners during 2010 at the CITAP headquarters. It is an innovative tool for gauging the overall sustainability of a port (environmental, social and financial). Intended for planning, evaluation and diagnosis of existing and future facilities, the initial design and calibration were based on the Port of Santander’s own profile.

7.1.5.2 Santander – Baltic Short Sea Shipping Line Study This research project, developed in conjunction with the Department of Economics of the University of Cantabria, aims to identify Short Sea Shipping lines linking Santander and some Baltic ports which would be viable from the point of view of quality of service, cost of the transportation chain door to door and volume of trade required to guarantee the continuity of the line. The aim is to propose a viable intermodal alternative to the current logistics chains which operate by road between the Iberian Peninsula and the Balkan republics, Poland and Russia. The project, which commenced in the summer of 2010 is expected to conclude during the first six months of 2011.

7.1.5.3 CITAP-NET. Information Networks: Cosmo-Port CITAP.NET is the platform designed to provide support and access to the generation, management and operation of the knowledge base produced by and associated with CITAP; online training, information networks, social networks, resource access, etc. One of CITAP’s objectives is to become a conduit for the prime sources of specialised port sector information via internet. This would create a valuable educational resource and promote inter-connectivity amongst port professionals. Most of this information is already provided by the port’s themselves through their own websites. In 2010, using its own resources, CITAP commenced the compilation of a directory named Cosmo-Port which will contain the website addresses of the principal ports of the world. In June work commenced on the database which will include geographical information and a direct link to each port. At the moment 2,880 ports are listed and the project will continue through 2011.

7.1.6 Educational and Research Publications During 2010 CITAP’s focused its efforts on producing issue No. 19 of the PORTUS journal in conjunction with RETE. The journal is the only international publication specialising in port-city relations. This edition of the journal contains the main content and results of the seminar The Port City: Globalisation and Sustainable Development which took place between 17 and 20 November in the Spanish Cooperation Training Centre in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. The seminar formed part of the AECID Specialised Technical Training programme within the VII edition of the International Port City Relations Course which until 2010 had taken place in Santander, thus emphasising the international nature of the programme.

7.2 INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS The Department of Corporate Activities is the interface between the Port Authority of Santander and the two main associations promoting the development of relations between ports and cities: Association Internationale Villes et Ports (AIVP) and RETE, which encourages this type of dialogue through training and research and in which the Port has been active from the outset. Practically from the foundation of RETE, the Port of Santander has played an active role in policy making as a member of the board, as well as participating in the Scientific Committee generating ideas, concepts and projects. As an advanced hub the Port has organised regular international courses and seminars further extending the values of the Association into the University sphere. The Port of Santander decided to increase its involvement in the Association by running for the Chairmanship in the elections held in November. The Port presented a candidature based on a programme which, taking into account the Association’s past history, current priorities and upcoming challenges, would strengthen and increase the role and social value of RETE.

8.1 CULTURAL MANAGEMENT

8.1.1 Commemoration of 25 Years of Cultural Activities in the Port The Port of Santander perceives a very clear link between its own progress and improvements to the economic, social and environmental conditions of its surroundings. Since the mid-1980’s the Port Authority has been engaged in projects which involve and integrate the people of the city in cultural activities as a means of demonstrating its relationship and commitment with the city. The exhibition Del Muelle a Raos (From the Quay to Raos) which opened on 18 August 1985 was the starting point for this process. The exhibition showcased the expansion plans and the proposed relocation of the port to the inner bay area as well as the first proposals for the redevelopment of the urban waterfront which was just starting to become free of loading and unloading operations. From that moment, the Palacete, whose silhouette was adopted as the port’s logo, became the focus of intense activity, for both institutional and artistic purposes, with national and international figures such as Juan Uslé, Mateo Charris, Eduardo Chillida, Mario Merz and Jiri Dokoupil. Over the years, the space has gained well deserved fame and has become a landmark in the Spanish port system with more than 250 exhibitions to date and annual visitor figures normally in excess of 50,000. The Palacete was joined by the Sala Naos another disused port facility, which was in turn renovated and transformed into a gallery. Both spaces were the scene of stable and regular activity during the decade spanning 1985 to 1995. The good results of this experience led the Port Authority to consider organising other cultural activities apart from exhibitions. So it was that in January 1995 the Teatro Cinco company staged the work Danza Oráculo, which opened another 10 year cycle during which exhibitions were combined with theatrical productions. Amongst these were Epizoo by Marcel Antúnez an interactive performance in which the spectator could control the artist’s body, clad in a metallic exoskeleton, by means of a computer mouse. The Port Authority also co-produced three plays about Santander and its port in conjunction with the La Machina Teatro company, which in turn has links with the University of Cantabria. The collaboration gave rise to Cele and Terio to lovable characters who soon became well known to the children. Another important step was taken in 2005 when yet more port spaces were opened to the public for cultural purposes. The Gamazo drydock was a partially disused port area, very close to the city centrewhich had also recently been declared a Heritage Site because of the importance of its industrial architecture. A multi-disciplinary arts festival was organised during July. Mar-Sessions - Escena Gamazo was a three day event which combined for the first time in a port venue a photographic exhibition, a theatrical show and live concerts. Mar Sessions

ANNUAL REPORT 2010 · CULTURAL MANAGEMENT · 81

2005 saw the coming together of six photographers, six groups and soloists and two theatre companies. The event was held again in 2006 and 2007 when it was temporarily suspended for safety reasons due to the state of disrepair of the dredger Loreto and the Pump House which are now awaiting a thorough renovation. In view of the success of Mar Sessions, the Port Authority decided to organise a cycle of music and theatre throughout the year. The chosen venue, the Ferry Terminal, had the novelty (and the difficulty) of being a port facility in full operation and also located in the city centre. The space is one of the most emblematic areas of the waterfront and a noteworthy example of the work of architect Ricardo Lorenzo. The cycle, baptised Show Hall, had its first edition in 2006 over eight days with two acts per session, spread between April and December. Subsequent editions during 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 now follow the standard programme format of a show every Friday night throughout the year with a break in the summer. The venue also has a bar whose decoration gives it a forties feel. Finally, in August 2006, a fifth venue was inaugurated. The Cabo Mayor Lighthouse Arts Centre is the permanent home of the Sanz-Villar collection, property of the painter Sanz-Villar and his wife, Isabel Villar, and also houses temporary exhibitions. These five venues, along with the La Cerda Lighthouse, headquarters of International Port Technology and Administration Centre (CITAP), which is dealt with elsewhere in this report, make up a dynamic cultural horizon which stretches the length of the city’s waterfront.

8.1.2 Exhibitions During 2010 there was a total of 62,171 visitors to the three regular exhibition spaces (Palacete, Sala Naos and the Cabo Mayor Lighthouse Arts Centre’s Sala Mouro. 23 exhibitions have been held and 5 publications edited. Along with the now traditional cooperation with the Menéndez Pelayo International University, this year saw an increase in activity carried directly in conjunction with the Government of Cantabria which has been extended to other government departments such as Environment and European Affairs and Development. The port also collaborated with Fundación 2016, an organisation which it is assumed and expected will continue even though Santander was not shortlisted as a candidate for the European Capital of Culture 2016. The exhibition Mexico in Cantabria went on tour in Mexico for the second time, the first edition opened in the Palacete in 2006. This project springs from the collaboration between a number of regional institutions and the Spanish Cultural Centre in Mexico. The collection comprises images of Mexico from the beginning of the 19th century and following exhibitions in Mexico D.F. and Potosí during 2009, the collection was shown in Oaxaca during 2010.

8.1.3 Show Hall 2010 Located in the most central venue of Santander’s waterfront, the Show Hall is establishing itself as a powerful tool in port-city relations. After five consecutive years of operation, which have seen the Ferry Terminal’s vestibule transformed every Friday night into a nightclub with a decidedly retro feel, the Show Hall is becoming a fixture of the Santander cultural scene. The programme is still based around a weekly show on Friday nights, with a break during the summer. Varied small format shows with a mix of originality and quality allow the public to see acts not normally available in Santander.

8.2 DOCUMENTATION CENTRE The Documentation Centre is still temporarily attached to the Department of Corporate Activities.

8.2.1 Resource Management. Service Areas 8.2.1.1 General Archive The Port of Santander General Archive basically comprises all of the documentation generated and received by the Junta de Obras del Puerto since 1872, the Junta del Puerto since 1968 and the Port Authority of Santander since 1992 until the present time. There are also documents still awaiting classification from two defunct organisations formerly involved in port activities, the Organización de Trabajos Portuarios (Port Workers Organisation) and the Cofradía de Pescadores (Fishermen’s Association). The digitalisation of the General Archive documentation, begun in 2006, continued during 2010. One of the most noteworthy initiatives was an R&D project entitled Portus.Doc: Development and Application of Techniques, Tools and Information Technology for the Conservation and Mangement of Documentary Resources. Portus. Doc will permit the integrated management of documents and books within the Centre with easier access to documents and substantial improvements in the conservation and monitoring of these resources. Implantation of the system is planned for the beginning of 2011. Substantial progress has also been made in the process of classification of documents which had been stored at a number of sites since the port administration changed headquarters. A total of 565 new files were incorporated into the Port Authority’s archives.

8.2.1.2 Photographic Collection The Port Authority’s considerable photographic collection has been augmented with donations from private collectors thanks to the treatment afforded by the Documentation Centre to the photos themselves as well as their digital and documentary formats. A collection of 45 photographs of ship launches at the Astilleros del Atlántico shipyard from the 1950’s and 1960’s was donated by Rufino García de Muro. A further collection of ten postcards showing Santander and the port dating from the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, which had been acquired in antique markets in Valencia, were donated by Alberto de Benito Inglada. 8.2.1.3 Library – Press Archive In addition to the acquisitions of the various port offices, the Port’s library and newspaper archive receives books and journals from around twenty organisations with which it exchanges publications. There are also donations from other ports, public and private organisations and free copies from a number of publishing houses. At the close of 2010 the Port Authority Library and Press Archive contained 5,897 monographic publications and 289 specialised journals. There is also a collection of 337 CD’s and DVD’s as well as 126 videos. There have also been some significant movements of resources within the system, since the publications located in the La Cerda Lighthouse library were reincorporated into the Documentation Centre and replaced with other collections. This has allowed the entire collection to be rearranged, thus optimising the available space. 8.2.1.4 Publication Resources Another of the Documentation Centre’s tasks is the distribution of publications edited by the Port Authority, encompassing internal requirements, sales and exchanges with other organisations. The Port Authority published six new titles during 2010: Limitesdos, Neruda y Los Barcos, Story Book/Story Board, Muellear, 100 x 100 Puerto and La Epidermis del Mar. The first five derive from exhibitions in the Palacete and the Cabo Mayor Lighthouse and the sixth relates to the former Aula del Mar, now CITAP. Both the exhibition and the publication 100 x 100 Puerto were compiled from the photographic digitalisation work carried out in the Documentation Centre.
