Ocean Platform Marinas (OPM) and Global Ports Holding Limited (GPH) have formally started operations of the new cruise and megayacht terminal at the Port of Seville, the latter said in a press release.

The duo was awarded a 25-year concession agreement for the operation of Seville Cruise Port late last year. 

They plan to invest €5 million in the development of the new Tablada terminal and the upgrade of services for cruise ships and megayachts, as well as strengthen the link between the port and the city. 

The concession covers an area of 5,100 square meters, including the current cruise terminal at the Delicias Wharf, its adjacent esplanades and the berthing line. 

It also includes 1,548 square meters at Tablada Wharf for the new cruise terminal, which will be located in one of the port’s sheds within the Port Urban District. 

Once cruise operations move to Tablada, Delicias Wharf is expected to strengthen its role as a dedicated marina for large yachts.
