Tepsa gets OK to import animal byproducts for biofuel feedstock via Tarragona

In Spain, Tepsa has obtained authorization from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food to import animal by-products for the production of biofuels through its terminal in Tarragona. It is the second Spanish port area to receive this permission, following the port of Huelva, which obtained the permit in November 2020, and the first on the Mediterranean coast. From this moment, the Tepsa terminal in Tarragona will be able to receive these liquid goods in bulk with non-EU origin through the Center d’Inspecció Dependent of the Border Control Point. Until now, merchandise of this type was disembarked at the Tepsa terminal through a series of bureaucratic procedures that can already be resolved at the port itself, as explained by the port authority.
