2005 saw the completion of Phase I works on the “Renovation of the Southern and Western Quays at the San Juan de Nieva Dock”, which consisted of extending the quay lines of the dock some 50 m seawards. Moreover, the work saw an increase of the Western and Southern quays’ draughts to 10 m and 12 m, respectively. Aforementioned works were financed from current Operational Programme 2000-2006 ERDF funds.
