Based in Gijón, Iron Sea provides flag state inspection and marine survey coverage at every commercial port of general interest on Spain's northern coast — the Basque Country, Cantabria, Asturias, and Galicia.
Asturias
Iron Sea is based in Gijón, home to El Musel, one of northern Spain's largest bulk and general cargo ports. As our home port, Gijón offers the fastest scheduling for flag state inspections, surveys, and pre-PSC preparation.
Asturias
A short distance from our Gijón base, the industrial port of Avilés handles bulk and project cargo linked to the region's steel and aluminium industries — well within same-day reach for inspections and surveys.
Cantabria
Santander is a major ro-ro and vehicle export hub on the Cantabrian coast, with regular ferry links to the UK. We schedule flag state inspections, condition surveys, and pre-PSC preparation here within 24 hours.
Basque Country
The Port of Bilbao is the largest in northern Spain by traffic, combining container, liquid bulk, and energy cargo operations. Iron Sea covers Bilbao for flag state inspections, RightShip pre-vetting, and cargo and draft surveys.
Basque Country
Pasajes, near San Sebastián, handles general cargo, scrap metal, and forestry products. We coordinate inspections and surveys here alongside port calls along the eastern Basque coast.
Galicia
A Coruña combines a major liquid bulk refinery terminal with general cargo and container feeder traffic. Iron Sea supports flag state inspections and pre-PSC preparation for vessels calling at this key Galician port.
Galicia
Ferrol's naval and shipbuilding tradition sits alongside San Cibrao's dry bulk alumina traffic. We provide flag state inspections, condition surveys, and internal audit support across both terminals of this port authority.
Galicia
Vigo is a major container and automotive ro-ro hub in Galicia. Iron Sea covers Vigo for flag state inspections, cargo surveys, and condition surveys.
Galicia
Marín handles dry bulk commodities such as timber and cereals for the Ría de Pontevedra area. We coordinate draft and bunker surveys and flag state inspections here on request.
Galicia
Vilagarcía de Arousa serves the Ría de Arousa with dry bulk and general cargo traffic. Iron Sea extends flag state and cargo survey coverage to this Galician port as part of our full northern Spain network.
