Hutchison Port Holdings' BEST Barcelona terminal wins customs certification
HONG KONG's Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH) unit, Barcelona Europe South Terminal (BEST), has been awarded the Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) certifications of "Customs Simplification" and "Security and Safety" from the Tax Agency, Departamento de Aduanas e II.EE. de la Agencia Tributaria.
This makes BEST the only container terminal in Barcelona with this double certification, said HPH. The AEO certifications allow BEST customers to streamline paperwork, go through fewer physical and document-based customs control points.
They will receive priority treatment at control and inspection points as well as advanced notice if their goods require a physical inspection.
"Obtaining these double certifications of the AEO allows the company to add value and quality to its customer service," said BEST commercial chief Jorge Moreno.
"The AEO status signifies to customers that BEST is a safe and reliable operator across the European Union. In future, such customs simplifications will extend globally with the mechanism of mutual recognition," he said.
Barcelona Europe South Terminal (BEST) is the first semi-automated terminal of HPH and the most technologically advanced port development project in Spain, the company claims.
HPH is the port and related services division of CK Hutchison Holdings Limited. HPH is the world's leading port investor, developer and operator. The HPH network of port operations comprises 319 berths in 52 ports, spanning 26 countries throughout Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, the Americas and Australasia.
