The ship

'Lady Deniz',

from the United States, attacked at around 10:00 am this Thursday in the outer port of Ferrol, aided in the maneuver by the tugboats 'Ramón Casas' and 'Ibaizabal Cinco', to unload some 20,000 tons of coal for Endesa's thermal power plant in As Pontes.

Specifically, the ship has five warehouses in which it houses coal, of which two of them will be unloaded in the Caneliñas dock to be later taken by road to the coal park that Endesa has in the vicinity of its thermal power plant in As Pontes de García Rodríguez (A Coruña), reports Europa Press.

There they will join the 40,000 tons of mineral that have been in storage for months and that will make it possible to

reactivate these facilities if required.

The person in charge of Endesa's port terminal in Ferrol,

Ana Belén Paz,

has assured that the electricity company "buys coal to complete the reserves it already has and, in this way, be in a position to meet market needs."

He also pointed out that, in parallel, "the company continues to process the closure of the thermal power plant, but as long as it is not officially done, it remains available to cooperate and satisfy the requirements of the market and the regulation of the national electricity system."

The president of the Ferrol-San Cibrao Port Authority,

Francisco Barea,

has

also referred to the arrival of this ship

,

who has detailed that they do not intend "to generate false expectations, since it is very difficult, if not impossible, that coal return to being all that was "for them.

Barea has stated that this situation "is showing that the dismantling of thermal power plants in Spain was a premature political decision."

"Unfortunately, especially in As Pontes, but also in Ferrol, we are paying the consequences of an abrupt energy transition, instead of being immersed in a just and orderly transition," he said.

Finally, the head of the port entity has detailed that "as a Port Authority we will work to be part of the solution to a problem that we have not created", he has sentenced.
