The Barcelona governing bodies decided to reduce the number of cruise ship terminals from seven to five due to maritime overtourism issues. Terminals A, B, and C will be demolished, replaced by a new public terminal at terminal C that can serve 7,000 passengers. This project will lower the port's capacity by 16% and involves a €185 million investment. Additional facilities will be added, including a shuttle service and monitoring systems to improve traffic management. The project is set to start next year and finish by 2030, marking the first capacity limit for cruise ships in the city.
Barcelona will reduce the number of cruise ship terminals from seven to five in response to overtourism, demolishing terminals A, B, and C. A single new terminal will replace terminal C, serving up to 7,000 passengers at once. This change reduces maximum capacity from 37,000 to 31,000 passengers daily, and it aims to improve public access. The project requires an investment of €185 million and will add facilities such as a shuttle service and monitoring systems to alleviate congestion.
The new public access terminal will mark a significant investment in sustainable maritime mobility, incorporating features to manage passenger distribution and enhance the experience for visitors. City officials view this as a milestone in regulating the cruise industry, addressing previous concerns over overtourism and the impact on local communities.
