Safety of people, facilities and operations
The Port Police is the security body of the port administration, in charge of the control and surveillance of the port service area, in accordance with the powers attributed to it by the laws in force as agents of the authority and special police of public domain. Its function is to ensure the safety of users or the port community.
Always on duty
This body provides service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and throughout the port territory. It is managed from the Operational Control Centre room, where all calls and service requests in any area of security (safety and security) are received and processed. From there, the necessary emergency and protection services are activated if necessary.

Safe transport
Guaranteeing safe traffic involves informing the vehicles that access the port about the different characteristics of the traffic lanes and the entrances to the port and terminals. Special transport is very common, and for this reason the APB has its own regulations that regulate Special Circulation Authorisations (AEC) , which must be known and complied with by companies dedicated to this type of transport.
Information on gauges
The Port Police organises and regulates these types of transport. In addition, to conveniently inform companies and professionals, we have a map in which the different gauges are indicated, with a detailed description of potentially critical or limiting points.
