Port Legislation and Regulations
The basic foundational moment of current legal port regulations comes from Law 27/1992, of November 24, on State Ports and the Merchant Marine, to which there have been different partial reforms through other laws: Law 62/1997, of December 26, modifying Law 27/1992, of November 24, on State Ports and the Merchant Marine; Law 48/2003, of November 26, on the Economic Regime and the Provision of Services in Ports of General Interest, and Law 33/2010, of August 5, modifying Law 48/2003, of November 26, on the Economic Regime and the Provision of Services in Ports of General Interest.
After this process of regulatory evolution, the regulation of the structure and management of the state port system is based on Royal Legislative Decree 2/2011, of September 5, by which the Revised Text of the Law on State Ports and the Merchant Marine (TRLPEMM due to its Spanish initials) is approved.
