Safety and self-protection

It should be highlighted that the Port of Tarragona is the first port in the state port system to obtain the Emergency Management Certificate based on the international ISO 22320 standard..

The standard compiles the world’s best practices in integrated emergency management with the goal of establishing the order and organisational control of structures and procedures, decision-making, traceability and information management.

The ISO 22320 certification represents a guarantee and a commitment on the part of the Port to the safety of people, infrastructure, activities and the environment.
