The project, which will be carried out in a joint venture with Construcciones Castillo Pescador, the company responsible for the civil works, amounts to €1.79 million.
The project includes the control of approximately 17 access points, both perimeter and internal, with varying levels of security. These range from automatic identification of all vehicles entering or leaving the port to, in the most secure cases, driver identification and visual inspection by a port officer or police officer.
The project also includes two methods for identifying individuals. One is a card with identification via an electronic chip incorporating a small RFID radio device, eliminating the need for physical contact between the reader and the card for regular users. The other is for visitors or infrequent vehicle access.
All information will be centralized on servers that, thanks to fiber optic connections, will receive real-time updates on activity within the port. In this way, a single person will have enough information to detect any alarms that may arise and activate the established security protocols. At the port's discretion, the control system can be configured and operated from various control rooms or locations.
