The joint venture formed by Soletanche Bachy International, Soletanche Bachy Cimas, Conconcreto and Dredging International built the 1,180-metre piled jetty between November 2011 and December 2013, which was commissioned in 2014.

It is connected to a 360 metre long, 16 metre wide quay and enables coal carriers to be loaded far ofshore. Puerto Brisa, on the Atlantic seaboard, is a major factor  in the industrial and commercial development of a region with a wealth of mineral deposits.
