The Port of Seville is situated in the estuary of the Guadalquivir river. From the Atlantic ocean, at Sanlúcar de Barrameda, after a journey of 90 kilometres, you arrive at the port facilities of the city of Seville, entering through a lock which is the only one of its kind in Spain. The route along the Guadalquivir river takes you along a navigation channel called the Guadalquivir Euroway E.60.02, which forms part of the Atlantic corridor of the Trans-European Transport Network.
Sailing on the Guadalquivir is based on a tidal system, so that vessels can use the channel when the tide is high. The vessels that use the channel take advantage of the tides and the extra amount of water they provide to increase the operating draught and optimizing the Euroway.
