The future terminal project includes urban development works for the area; construction of the building where the future terminal for passengers, offices and services will be located, in a trapezoidal shape covering an area of 5,600 sqm; and the urban development for passenger loading and unloading operations and road traffic.

The terminal terrace will include waiting areas for trucks and cars and a storage area for semi-trailers. The project design also includes traffic lanes, vehicle parking areas in front of the terminal, taxi and bus stops and public rest and service areas.

The project also includes the passenger boarding walkways and gates, spaces reserved for shore power systems, and an electricity generation system with photovoltaic panels, among other elements. The budget for the works is EUR 25.3 million.

Baleària, which has been operating regularly at the Port of Barcelona since 2003, currently embarks and disembarks in various port areas. The new terminal, which will occupy an area of 75,250 sqm, will initially come on stream in February 2027 in a 38,000 sqm area, and will occupy the total area of its concession by the end of 2029.

In its final configuration, the terminal will have four simultaneous docking points for RoRo ships. The concession is for an extendable period of 27 years.
