Abstract

The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the organisational aspects and the main legal instruments for the management of seaports. Regarding administrative organisation, an analysis is conducted of its main coordinates, based on the Central State Administration and its Indirect Administration, whether of an institutional nature (Port and Maritime Transport Institute, I.P.) or of a corporate nature (Port Authorities, S.A.). Concerning the legal forms or modes of exploitation/management, the article characterises and qualifies the main legal frameworks employed for this purpose, particularly the concession model in its various possible forms. In this context, the (new) data provided by the Port Bill Proposal are also taken into account.
