During the year 2012, the traffi c was al- most 8.4 Mt, with more than 9 Mt expected in 2013. Its continuous good performance observed over several years is explained by the consensus of economic stakeholders around the port development project, by signifi cant natural assets, including being the only deep water port on the Atlantic coast and by a strong fi nancial position that has allowed making regular invest- ments for the upgrade of port facilities. In particular, the PRCN has received over the last fi ve years major investments for modernising the infrastructure. YOUR ATLANTIC YACHTING SHIPYARD 7 I.
