Cartagena, Spain
Spain's principal Mediterranean energy port, with the Escombreras terminal handling bulk liquid and dry cargoes.
Cartagena has been a harbour for more than two thousand years. Today, the Escombreras basin is home to one of Spain's largest energy complexes, with refining, storage and bulk terminals.
Cargoes arrive from the Gulf through Suez, a voyage of around two weeks.
