Port of Barcelona Closes 2025 with 69.5 Million Tonnes and €59 Million in Profit

The Port of Barcelona released its 2025 Annual Report, the yearly publication that compiles the port's activity results and main developments. The document records total traffic of 69.5 million tonnes and a net profit of €59 million for the year.

According to the report, goods valued at €111.7 billion passed through the port's facilities. The Port Authority closed the year with revenue of €206.3 million and direct infrastructure investment of €84.4 million. On the financial side, the entity cut its bank debt by €18 million, down to €88 million, and held cash reserves of €365 million.

Total traffic of 69.5 million tonnes came in below the 69.7 million tonnes recorded the previous year. Container throughput totaled 3.7 million TEU, down 4.2%, although full import and export containers grew 4% and 3% respectively. Liquid bulk rose 21.7% to 16.6 million tonnes, while dry bulk fell 15% to around 4.1 million tonnes.

The annual report details seven major infrastructure tenders worth a combined €332.5 million, as part of the port's capacity expansion. By the end of 2025, the entity had already awarded five of those seven projects.

The report covers the approval of the Energy Transition Plan and progress on the Nexigen shore power electrification program. The plan aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 and 85% by 2040 compared to 2017 levels, working toward carbon neutrality by 2050, through more than 150 initiatives and a planned investment of €1.7 billion, with €920 million in private financing and €780 million in public funds. Among the 2030 targets are electrifying half of port operations, having 65% of containership and cruise ship calls use onshore power supply, installing 100 MWp of photovoltaic capacity, and producing 100,000 tonnes per year of sustainable fuels.

The report also covers the BlueTechPort project, whose new headquarters at the Sant Bertran warehouses began construction on January 8, 2026. The initiative, backed by a €60 million investment and expected to be operational by 2028, will offer around 25,000 square meters with capacity for 2,500 professionals. At its launch, 22 companies were already part of the project, with some running trials along a 50-meter stretch of the Barcelona Nord quay.
