The Port of Barcelona has a 2000-year history and great contemporary commercial importance as one of Europes ports in the Mediterranean, as well as Catalonias largest port, vying with Tarragona. It is also Spains third and Europes ninth largest container port, with a trade volume of 2.57 million TEUs in 2008.[3] The port is managed by the Port Authority of Barcelona. Its 7.86 km2 (3 sq mi) are divided into three zones: Port Vell (the Old Port), the commercial/industrial port and the logistics port (Barcelona Free Port). The port is undergoing an enlargement that will double its size by diverting the mouth of the Llobregat river 2 km (1¼ mi) to the south,[4] and slightly pushing back the Llobregat Delta Nature Reserve.
