In 1992, the Basque government, the provincial council of Bizkaia and the municipal council of Getxo formed the public company Puerto Deportivo el Abra – Getxo S.A. for the purpose of building and managing the Getxo Marina.
The following considerations were taken into account for its position as Euskadi’s first sports port:
They have more than 842 berths.
Do not specify large protection infrastructure because it has already been executed.
Establish an important relationship in the well-connected port space.
Provide an aquatic area of beneficial navigability.
Provide conditions for their integration into international shipping lanes.
