Puerto de Requejada

Puerto de Requejada, River port in Requejada, Spain.

Puerto de Requejada is a river port on the lower Saja where goods from the region were once transferred and shipped out. The facility includes loading docks, warehouses, and cargo areas built for commercial operation.

In the 19th century Requejada was the main departure point for Castilian flour, ahead of Santander, because it saved 20 km of road haulage; the opening of the Alar-Santander railway in 1852 ended that lead. Goods traffic grew in the early 1990s, then fell to 41 million tonnes in 2006. Sand at the mouth of the ría de San Martín de la Arena and the lack of dredging closed the port in 2008.

The three cranes at the port once stood at the Port of Santander before being moved here. The site is managed privately by Julio Cabrero & Cia S.A., and the former mayor of Polanco, owner of that firm, has sought to reopen it, citing the port's closeness to businesses in the Besaya basin.

The port lies on the lower Saja, about 3.5 miles from the mouth of the ría de San Martín de la Arena, and has been closed since 2008 because of sand accumulation at the estuary mouth and the lack of dredging. It is privately managed by Julio Cabrero & Cia S.A., so access to the installations depends on the company; the three cranes, formerly at the port of Santander, can be seen from outside.

The three cranes at the port once stood at the Port of Santander before being moved here. The site has been closed since 2008, when sand built up at the mouth of the San Martín de la Arena estuary and dredging stopped.
