The "volcanoes" Timanfaya and Tamadaba are stuck in the new terminal

The emblematic new passenger and ro-cargo terminal of the Grupo Armas Transmediterra ́ nea in the port of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, located on the Nelson Mandela pier, is already fully operational for both passengers and ro-cargo. The new terminal has the capacity for the simultaneous docking of five ships, concentrating all the services in an aute-tic interinsular logi-stico centre.

The new terminal, which was visited on September 13 by the president of the Canary Islands, A'ngel Vi'Cétor Torres, is a unique piece with pillars up to 22 meters long that fly to the sea and welcomes a lot of light. The unique building offers a view of the port of La Luz, with glazed corners that are projected over the entire bahi'a. The entrance is completed by a large open space with vegetation and banks that offers a friendly reception to passengers.

The building is distributed in reception areas, offices, billing area and handheld baggage handling area, waiting room, as well as a large boarding room. This room is connected directly to the ships by means of pedestrian walkways, facilitating the boarding and offering more comfort to the passengers.
