In 2021, the Port of Huelva grew the total volume of port traffic to over 30.6 million tonnes, representing an increase of over 2.5%.

These results reflect positively on the Huelva Port Authority and the companies which form its port community. It challenges us to continue
driving new projects to attract investments and help to grow our revenues. In 2021, we surpassed €43.7 million, an increase of 2.13%.

A decisive factor in this performance has been the strategy to implement projects that consolidate our traditional solid and liquid bulk
traffic, with the modernisation of the Ingeniero Juan Gonzalo and Ciudad de Palos Wharves, cornerstones in the loading and unloading of
solid bulk – including ores and minerals, cereals and fertilisers – that is fundamental for the province's economy.

During the year, we continued to deploy the investment plan, worth over €48 million, to enhance our competitiveness. The initiatives
included the extension of the South Wharf, equipped with three new Super Post-Panamax cranes, the construction of a multipurpose
building, and improving the connectiveness and efficiency of port operations. These are all part of our digitalisation, sustainability and
innovation strategy.

As regards connections with the Canary Islands, the number of passengers on the regular maritime routes increased 20%, to which the
growth in RO-RO freight has to be added. That positions us as the leading port of the Spanish port system with the islands, as we are an
official link with the islands as a hub on the European Atlantic Corridor. We have launched our "Route 1400 Huelva-Canary Islands" brand
to work together with the different stakeholders of the logistics chain and consolidate our positioning.

In parallel to our port growth, we have made progress in our outreach to the city, an achievement of which I feel immensely proud. The
upgrading of the Avenida Francisco Montenegro is part of our commitment to sustainability. This road that was previously used for heavy
vehicles is now a long avenue, which has created green areas and healthy settings for the city to enjoy.

We are a port with a heart, which is striving to pass on the benefit of bussines volumes to its local environment by means of new projects
and also thanks to our corporate social responsibility strategy. A total of 90 projects have benefitted from the port-city call, an action that
has been strengthened with 124 sponsorships with different sports, educational, cultural and social groups.

We want to continue to be trail-blazers and be at the cutting-edge of the port system in port management, innovation and sustainability.
We sought a key technology partner of status Telefónica to develop the first port Fiware innovation hub worldwide on the first floor of our
fish auction market and help to make Huelva's productive fabric more competitive.
