The social commitment of the Port Authority of Huelva is manifested in the initiatives for the dissemination of the port’s activity and communication with the general public, in measures for the improvement of the port-city interface and in its commitment to a policy of Social Responsibility committed to its immediate environment.
The Reception and Documentation Centre of the Port of Huelva, which is also the headquarters of its Historical Archive, built with the renovation of the old locomotive depot and inaugurated in 2003, stands out as an instrument for the dissemination of port activity and communication with the public. Its aim is to publicise the reality of the Port, its work, its projects, its historical and current socio-economic importance and its vocation to continue to be a generator of wealth and opportunities, as well as a very important part of the local, provincial and regional economy.
A total of 53 events were organised in this space in 2024, including social events, presentations, exhibitions, talks and working breakfasts. Two cultural exhibitions were organised and the space was occupied for a total of 10 days throughout the year. Of the events organised, 14 were APH’s own events, 10 were private events, 14 were Master’s lectures and classes and 5 were technical visits to the archive and exhibition area.
Today, in the Exhibition area of the Reception and Documentation Centre, you can enjoy an exhibition that was organised for the Huelva 2023 Colombinas festivities and which has been transferred to our space for the enjoyment of the public under the title “Port Authorities, economic engines of Andalusia” to mark the 150th anniversary of the Port of Huelva.
In addition, a total of 18 cultural and sporting events have been promoted on the Paseo de la Ría. As well as a total of 22 catamaran excursions for organisations and groups in Huelva, as outreach activities for the Port.
