Global Ports Holding Plc
Awarded preferred bidder status for Alicante Cruise Port
Global Ports Holding Plc ("GPH"), the world's largest
independent cruise port operator, is pleased to announce that,
following a public tender process, the Port Authority of Alicante
has awarded preferred bidder status to an 80:20 joint venture
between GPH and our local partner Sepcan S.L ("Sepcan"), to operate
a 15-year cruise port concession for Alicante Cruise Port.
The consortium and Port Authority of Alicante will now work
towards agreeing on the terms of the concession agreement, with the
consortium currently expected to take over operations at Alicante
Cruise Port in the first half of the calendar year 2023.
Alicante Cruise Port, with over 100k passengers annually, is one
of the most in-demand and growing cruise destinations on the east
coast of Spain. The port has strong airlift connectivity and is
well located for inclusion in Mediterranean itineraries.
The port in Alicante is currently undergoing a multimillion-euro
investment by the Port Authority that will significantly enhance
the port and surrounding area and integrate it into the fabric of
the wider waterfront and city. As part of the concession agreement,
GPH plans to invest up to EUR 2.0m into refurbishing and
modernising the cruise terminal.

Sepcan S.L. is a Canary island family-owned company that has
been providing services to the cruise industry since 1936 and,
since 1998, has been focused on mooring/unmooring, luggage
handling, ship's provisioning and passenger services. They also
