Port Authority opens allegations for the concession of the Teis WWTP

The Vigo City Council has submitted a written request to the Vigo Port Authority for an administrative concession to occupy an area and facilities within the service zone of the port of Vigo, in the Teis area, for the purpose of a wastewater treatment plant (Teis WWTP). The announcement was published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Pontevedra (BOPPO) on Monday, October 5, 2026, number 191, in the State Administration section, and opens a period of twenty business days for anyone who considers themselves affected to submit allegations.

The procedure is processed as a public information request for an administrative concession, within the block of “Other documents, notifications and public information” published by the Vigo Port Authority, an organization dependent on Puertos del Estado and the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility. The announcement was signed in Vigo on September 29, 2026, by the director of the Vigo Port Authority, Rubén Marín Gallego, and bears the official reference document number 2026071208, with the secure verification code 4WO3KCPHQ7465S8I.

What is requested and for what purpose

• Applicant: Vigo City Council.
• Object: administrative concession to occupy an area and facilities.
• Location: service zone of the port of Vigo, in the area of Teis – Vigo.
• Purpose: wastewater treatment plant (Teis WWTP).

The announcement does not detail the exact area or the term of the concession, data which appear in the case documentation made available to the public. The publication is limited to reporting the municipal request and opening the allegations process typical of this type of proceedings.

Deadline and method for submitting allegations

• Deadline: twenty (20) business days.
• Calculation: from the day following the publication in the gazette; if that day were a Saturday or a holiday, it shall be understood as extended to the next business day.
• Submission channel: electronic office of the Vigo Port Authority, located at Plaza de la Estrella nº 1, in Vigo.
• Consultation of the file: the documentation is available to the public at apvigo.es, on the page for files subject to a public information period.

Other port file in the same gazette

The same issue of the BOPPO includes a second request for an administrative concession in the port area of Vigo, processed with the same deadline for allegations:

• Promoter: EMBALAJES ARMANDO S.L. (C.I.F. B-36664084).
• Area: approximately 121.50 square meters.
• Location: Vigo Fishing Port (Berbés), annexed to the West side of its concession.
• Purpose: storage of auxiliary material (boxes, cages, pallets and similar).
• Signature of the announcement: Vigo, September 28, 2026, by the director of the Vigo Port Authority, Rubén Marín Gallego.

The coincidence of both announcements in the same bulletin confirms that the Port Authority of Vigo maintains several active procedures for the occupation of the public port domain subject to public consultation.

Impact for the estuary and for the residents

The concession directly affects the Teis area, a zone where port, industrial, and residential uses coexist, and impacts the operation of sanitation and water purification in the Vigo estuary. For the residents, homeowners’ associations, companies, and entities operating in the port’s service area, the announcement opens the only formal window to examine the file and submit allegations before the Port Authority of Vigo resolves the occupation requested by the Vigo City Council.
