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 Documentation and Visitors 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 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. However, 70 meetings and events organised by business and social groups, along with internal meetings, were held during 2021, with the relevant safety measures in place to prevent the spread of the virus.

All visits to the port facilities and outreach and dissemination activities were suspended in 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

However, the catamaran continued to run and provided a total of 40 services, while the Covid safety standards in place at any given time were followed. Visits to the "El Rompido" and "Mazagón" lighthouses, along with those to the Monument to the Faith of the Explorer", were stopped.
