The social commitment of the Huelva Port Authority can be seen in the initiatives for the dissemination of the port’s activity and communication with the citizens, in actions 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 Huelva Port, which is also the headquarters of its Historical Archive, built with the rehabilitation of the old locomotive depot and which was inaugurated in 2003, stands out as an instrument for the dissemination of port activity and communication with citizens. Its objective is to make known 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.
The Reception and Documentation Center of the Port of Huelva stands out as an instrument for disseminating port activity.
