All access points to the port area have been affected by the metal sector strike call. Groups of protesters have blocked access from the Eix Transversal (A-27), the Moll de Reus, and the Dic de Llevant, preventing road and pedestrian traffic, including pedestrian access to the Port Tarraco marina. The Port Authority of Tarragona (APT) has reinforced the presence of Port Police at access points.
The reduction in vehicles is drastic: by 12 PM, only 53 trucks had entered or exited (95.37% less than last year) and 377 cars (85.33% less). Cereal deliveries at the SEA have also decreased by 95.81%, with only 29 deliveries compared to 693 last year. The three scheduled rail departures for the morning have been cancelled.
Ship loading and unloading activities continue normally. The APT respects the right to protest but expresses concern about potential economic impacts if the mobilization is prolonged.
To ensure safety and emergency management, Port Police surveillance has been increased, and coordination meetings have been held with the Mossos d’Esquadra and Civil Protection. An entry and exit lane has been enabled at the A-27 access for emergencies and dangerous goods.
