Spanish term or phrase: empresa operadora
From a document on port investment:

"El concurso establece y regula muchos de los aspectos de la explotación de la instalación y es la pieza clave que condiciona todo el desarrollo posterior, ya que concreta muchos de los aspectos operativos y de servicio que deben prestarse en la instalación. La propia concepción del sistema concursal ha evolucionado de forma muy notable en los últimos años. Tomando como ejemplo la última gran concesión realizada en Barcelona y relativa a la Terminal Prat construida en la ampliación del port hacia el sur, vemos que en el clausulado se especifican aspectos muy vinculados a la estrategia comercial de la ***empresa operadora***. Hay que entender que al puerto ya no le interesa únicamente el retorno de su inversión sino la adaptación del operador a una estrategia común decidida por la propia Comunidad Logística."

Thanks in advance! :)

agree  Bubo Coroman (X): "operating company", then "operator" for "operador" in the line below. It clearly refers to operating because it mentions "los aspectos operativos y de servicio".
