The La Boella Intermodal Terminal in the Port of Tarragona has demonstrated its capacity to handle up to 50,000 TEU per year. This has become particularly relevant due to the temporary reorientation of cargo flows caused by the infrastructure upgrades at the Port of Barcelona, where the gauge change for the Mediterranean Corridor is ongoing and will last until mid-September.
Euroports has successfully organized the movement of 800 TEU in one week for Synergy, WEC Lines and Multirail, leveraging its experience on the RORO line between Turkey and Tarragona. Euroports collaborated with Transpais in this process, which helped to ensure the smooth operation of the terminal and the timely delivery of goods to the Iberian Peninsula and Europe.
La Boella has demonstrated its flexibility by handling around 800 TEU per week, including both dry containers and specialised isotanks. This is strategically important to reduce the pressure on the roads and ensure the sustainability of transport operations. In the future, the terminal will also play an important role during the works on the Roda de Berà tunnel, which are scheduled to take place between October 2024 and March 2025.
The main contributors to the success of the operation were the partners: Euroports, WEC Lines, Synergy and Multirail, as well as the railway companies Captrain and Continental Rail. The management of all companies noted that the collaboration ensured minimal disruption to customers, confirming the reliability of the La Boella terminal as a key hub in the logistics chain.
