This afternoon, the Board approved a substantial modification to the concession granted to Peixoto Alimentación S.L. to carry out work on its fish and seafood processing facility. The company has received funding from the European Maritime Fund for Fisheries and Aquaculture (EMFA), and the total investment amounts to €1.2 million. The project aims to expand and upgrade the existing facilities for the processing and transformation of cephalopods. The Board also approved a substantial modification to the concession granted to the Nodosa S.L. shipyard—specifically for its slipway and outfitting dock—regarding investments made in energy efficiency and environmental quality through the installation of photovoltaic panels. Nodosa is a well-established shipyard with over 50 years of history and has become a benchmark in the sector, being one of the major job creators in the region. Currently, five large vessels are under construction, with delivery dates scheduled between this year and next. Management Report At its meeting this afternoon, the Port Authority's Board of Directors also reviewed the final data from the 2025 management report, which concluded with a throughput of 2,301,478 tons. This allowed the port to maintain its primary objective of keeping traffic consistently above two million tons. The most significant growth occurred last year in conventional general cargo, which represents 30.43% of the Port of Marín's total traffic. Within this category, notable increases were seen in fruit and vegetables, thanks to the transoceanic shipping line with Brazil, as well as in iron and steel products, construction materials, and frozen fish. Regarding freight transport by rail, this year it stands at 396,742 tons, representing a 17% share of rail utilization and continuing to position the Port of Marín at the forefront of intermodality within the port system. As for other management aspects for 2025, the monitoring and control plan for the implementation of European funds stands out, as the Port of Marín is a beneficiary of MRR, ERDF, and FEMPA funds, primarily for energy efficiency improvements and enhancements to the fishing sector. Action plans have also been implemented in the areas of cybersecurity and digitalization, as well as in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility, with programs to promote the Port Authority's cultural heritage in the surrounding community. Finally, the Board of Directors gave final approval to the 2026 Business Plan agreed upon with State Ports.
