The new Total Terminal International Algeciras (TTIA) facility was officially opened at a ceremony in the Spanish port on Monday.
Owned and built by the South Korean shipowner Hanjin Shipping and located in the Strait of Gibraltar, TTIA is the first semi-automatic container terminal both in the Mediterranean and Southern Europe.
Several speakers mentioned the importance of new technologies and how the modern new terminal will boost competitiveness for the Port of Algeciras in the face of developments at other ports.
