Telecommunications: Acesa Telecom, Tradia. Chairman’s Letter Dear Shareholders, Once again I am pleased to have the opportunity to address you with a summary of the evolution and most significant events of the Acesa Group in the past financial year. On this occasion, moreover, allow me to advance that 2001 was an especially significant and important year in the history of our company. It was significant for three motives. Firstly, because Acesa showed that it is a Group which is able to broaden and diversify its investments, within Spain and internationally. Secondly, because the Acesa Group closed the 2001 financial year with very satisfactory results, in spite of the slowdown in the economic growth cycle, increasing net consolidated profit by 5.6% to 172 million euros. And finally, because in the last year we strengthened our strategy as a management Group of infrastructures that facilitate mobility, communication and specifically, the quality of life of the society. In the year 2001 Acesa Group continued the solid, prudent and profitable growth that we hope deserves the confidence shown by own shareholders. Our willingness to grow our main activity in the highway sector and expand towards new business lines associated with infrastructures, has continued – as you can observe in this Annual Report – at a good pace.

  • A Diversified Port
    Press dossier PAGE 1/8 2016 A diversified port The Port of Barcelona is Catalonia's main transport and services infrastructure and a benchmark port in the Euro-Mediterranean area. Its area of influence stretches through the south and centre of Europe and North Africa and it is the logistics gateway linking markets as distant as the Far East and Latin America. With around 100 regular shipping lines connecting Barcelona with more than 220000 ports in the five continents, Barcelona is Spain’s principal port for international traffic. It is specialised in general cargo and high value added cargo such as consumer goods, electronics products and vehicles. The Port in figures: • The Port provides 32,000 jobs. • Barcelona is Spain's leading port in terms of turnover and goods value. • 77% of Catalonia's economic activity sectors are customers of the Port. • The Port channels 71% of Catalonia's external maritime trade and 22% of the national total. • The Port moved goods worth € 54 billion in 2013. The last few years have witnessed a process of far-reaching concentration and specialisation of the terminals, which are privately managed and operated under a concessionary regime by companies in competition with each other. The Port currently has thirty goods terminals specialised in containers, vehicles, coffee and cocoa, metal products, solid and liquid bulks, and passengers. Barcelona therefore has a highly diversified port, which we could almost describe as fivefivefive-five ---inininin----oneoneone: the commercial port; the energy port; the cruiser port; the logistics port; and the citizen's port, known as the Port Vell .

IMPROVING COMPETITIVENESS IN A MOTORWAYS OF THE SEA CONTEXT Abstract In recent years transport policy at an European Level has been focused on reducing the share of road transportation and promote alternative transportation means in order to reduce road congestion and carbon footprint. One of the solutions proposed has been promoting Short Sea Shipping (SSS) transportation combined with land transportation to become a door-to-door alternative to the monomodal road alternative. The maritime centered option would hit to birds with a stone: reduce congestion in the most urbanized areas of the European Union and partly replacing heavy polluting truck haulage for an environmentally friendlier option. The European Commission launched many polices and initiatives to make the modal shift happen, the crown jewel being the launch of multiple initiatives promoting the establishment of a system of Motorways of the Seas.
