  The integration of the new technologies into the complex fabric of current economic processes is indisputable. Furthermore, nobody seriously doubts that the acquisition of information in "real time" has come to play a major role in all commercial relations. In a situation where goods are not stored, but are speedily distributed from the manufacturer to the end user, ports have an essential part to play; not merely as multi-purpose distribution centres, but as true focus points where those processes that facilitate information on transport and business come together.

 The information technologies are fully integrated into port infrastructures, thus enabling the speeding-up of all types of exchanges between the various parties that go to make up the Avilés Port Community. This technological contribution brings us both effectively and potencially closer to our

customer, and affords us the opportunity of doing so in a speedy and efficient manner.

  To this end we are delighted to present our WEB page. By means of its structure we attempt to describe both the technical features of the Port, its location and installations, as well as the volume and specifications of its traffic, while at the same time offering this information in the digital copies of annual reports. We also provide our visitors with updated information on the trade possibilities and services we have to offer, which can all be consulted by means of the network. These data are rounded off by brief reviews of the main events currently taking place at our Port.

  In fine, our aim is to create a modern tool of enquiry which will enable the visitor to learn, in a modern and businesslike manner, of the facilities, means and services that are available at our Port.

  Thank you for your visit.

President of the Port of Avilés
