Relations with the social environment
Start of main content
The social commitment of Huelva Port Authority can be seen in the initiatives to disseminate the activity of the port and communication with the citizens, in actions to improve the port-city interface and in its commitment to a Social Responsibility policy committed to its immediate surroundings.
A key instrument to disseminate the port's activity and communicate with the general public is the Port of Huelva Visitors and Documentation Centre, which is also home to its Historical Archive. It is in the refurbished former engine shed and was opened in 2003. Its aim is to showcase the Port, its work, its future projects, its current and past socio-economic importance and its mission to continue to generate wealth and opportunities, as well as being a very important part of the regional, provisional and local economy.
In this area of citizen outreach, the activity of the Visitors and Documentation Centre was also affected by the restrictions on mobility during the State of Alarm.
In addition to cooperation with the events and companies mentioned in section I_34, there were other activities to open up and publicise the port’s facilities.
However, 43 meetings and events organised by business and social groups, along with internal meetings, were held during 2020, with the relevant safety measures in place to prevent the spread of the virus.
Apart from the involvement with the events and entities discussed in Section I_34, all visits and outreach and dissemination activities of the port facilities were suspended from March onwards, pursuant to Royal Decree 463/2020, of 14 March, declaring the State of Alarm.
Specifically, the visits to the port facilities by catamaran, and the visits to the "El Rompido" and "Mazagón" lighthouses, along with the visits to the Monument to the Faith of the Explorer were cancelled.
