The facilities consist of a 280 meter long dyke attached to the Raos east side central breakwater. This expansion will be carried out by anchoring eleven concrete blocks and batter and backfilling. The pier will be aligned with the current Terquisa berthing; 707,000 cubic meters will be dredged and filled with 266,000 cubic meters of quarry material.

The work aims to enhance and increase Ro-Ro traffic (vessels carrying cars and trucks), thereby positioning the Port of Santander in the European market for container transport. This infrastructure will also allow for multiple transoceanic vessels to berth in Santander.
