SSS Leader

Ships at port

The European Atlantic zone absorbs half of the goods traffic from the Port of Bilbao.

Due to its strategic position, its excellent communications network and its offer of almost 50 SSS, weekly services, the Port of Bilbao guarantees optimum delivery times and competitive costs compared with the land alternative. This guarantee is complemented with specific, simplified Customs and administrative clearance.

Short Sea Shipping (SSS) is what as known as goods and passenger transport between ports in the European Union, or between these and non-European countries with shores on the Mediterranean, Black and Baltic Seas respectively.

The European Commission is strongly committed to SSS in order to achieve a more sustainable transportation system.
