Project record
Valencia North Terminal quay and automated terminal works
Valencia's North Terminal has moved from design publication and open procurement into a EUR 489.18 million marine-civil contract. About two kilometres of main quay, ancillary quays, reclamation, basin deepening, and demolition must be accepted before TIL's separate automated-terminal systems can enter commissioning.

Project anatomy
Contract scope and delivery roles
- Client / authority
- Valencia Port Authority
- Delivery parties
- ACCIONA Construcción, Jan De Nul, Grupo Bertolín
- Contract route
- Open procurement initiated in December 2023; EUR 489.18 million excluding VAT main-works contract awarded on 1 July 2024 to the ACCIONA-Jan De Nul-Grupo Bertolin joint venture; a separate 50-year TIL terminal concession followed in September 2024
- Execution window
- The Port Authority's 2024 annual accounts confirm physical execution began in Q4 2024; completed quay, reclamation, dredging, civil handover, terminal commissioning and first service are not stated
- Works package
- Approximately 2 kilometres of main quay wall, about 700 metres of ancillary quays, 137 hectares of reclamation in the EIB project definition, basin deepening, and removal of existing breakwater and cruise-terminal structures; ACCIONA separately describes 126 hectares of paved terminal areas
- Marine interfaces
- Quay-wall construction, dredging, reclamation using material from Valencia and Sagunto, basin works, breakwater interfaces, and terminal-platform formation
- Commercial evidence boundary
- The public marine-civil package is contracted and physically under way, while TIL's concession investment, terminal paving and buildings, handling equipment, automation, rail systems, utilities, commissioning, and operations remain a different delivery and acceptance chain
Project timeline
Material developments
Dated events that changed scope, counterparties, delivery, commissioning or operating status.
Open this project in the Change LogSigned annual accounts confirmed a Q4 2024 physical start
The Port Authority's reformulated 2024 accounts confirm that the awarded works began executing in the final quarter of 2024 and describe the pace as adequate. Physical construction had started, while quay, dredging, reclamation, demolition, civil handover, terminal systems and operations remained incomplete.
SourceTIL received a separate 50-year terminal concession
The concession assigns TIL construction and operation of the future terminal and records EUR 1.098237 billion of proposed private investment outside Port Authority works. The private-investment figure is separate from the EUR 489.18 million marine-civil contract and provides no evidence of installed automation or operating readiness.
SourcePort Authority awarded the main works contract
The Board selected the ACCIONA-Jan De Nul-Grupo Bertolin joint venture. The Port Authority's annual accounts later state EUR 489.18 million excluding VAT; the award fixes contractor and value, while mobilisation, production, accepted depth and handover remain open.
SourceOpen tender closed with four bids
Four submissions moved the container-quay procurement into evaluation. Bid receipt did not establish a selected contractor, contract value, concession award, or physical start.
SourceBoard initiated the main-works procurement
The Port Authority approved an open procedure and EUR 545.78 million excluding VAT of expenditure. This procurement ceiling is distinct from the later EUR 489.18 million award and from TIL's private concession investment.
SourcePort Authority published the pre-tender construction project
The then non-final design carried an estimated EUR 448 million including VAT and 58-month period, plus technical prescriptions for caissons, consolidation, dredged-material characterization, and operability. Those planning figures were superseded by the later procurement and award evidence.
SourceEvidence gap
What remains unverified
Outstanding evidence
- Main and ancillary quay-wall production and structural acceptance
- Reclamation volume, dredged-material use, settlement, and platform handover
- Basin-deepening quantities, material route, and completion hydrography
- Breakwater and cruise-terminal demolition interfaces
- Terminal concession, equipment, automation, utilities, and integrated commissioning
- First accepted vessel calls and repeat commercial operations
