TPS Tarragona Port Services was awarded the certificate of the European system of environmental management and audit on 20 November last year.
The ceremony was held on company grounds, located in the ‘Moll de Castella’ in the Port of Tarragona. The certificate recognizes the investments and efforts made by TPS Tarragona Port Services to minimize the environmental impact of its activities, including the arrival of ships, loading and unloading of bulk product, integrated transport services and customs agency and the storage and handling of minerals, pulp, metallurgical products, fertilizers and food products.
