A P&O ferry service links Santurtzi, near Bilbao, to Portsmouth (UK). The Pride of Bilbao ferry departs from the port of Bilbao, 15 km west of the city centre. A service operated by Acciona Trasmediterranea served the same route from May 16, 2006 until April 2007.
The container volume was nearly half a million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) in year 2005. The Port is the 4th busiest port in Spain after Algeciras, Barcelona and Valencia and is Spain's largest.
A new dock was built in Getxo to meet the increasing demand in cruise ship traffic, fed largely by the opening of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in 1998, which has brought in many more tourists and put Bilbao on the cruising routes.
The P&O ferry service to Portsmouth leaves from the Santurtzi docks.
