HUTCHISON PORTS BEST will continue to manage the Navarra Intermodal Terminal (TIN) for the next fifteen years, with a possible extension of five more years, after being awarded the public tender launched by ADIF in April of 2024.
“Noáin is for us a strategic terminal to continue developing our hinterland in the north of Spain and southwest of France. We are going to make a strong investment to increase operational efficiency and thus generate even more value for exporters and importers," he said. Guillermo Belcastro, CEO of HUTCHISON PORTS BEST.
The logistics operator HUTCHISON LOGISTICS SYNERGY will continue to manage the commercial and railway operations of the terminal. Its general manager, Pablo García, highlighted the planned improvements: “With this new investment we will be able to provide a better service to our customers, having an infrastructure with two mixed gauge tracks that are fully electrified and new machinery that will increase the capacity of the terminal.”
The Noain terminal will make it possible to bring the services of the port of Barcelona, which has more than 200 direct connections, closer to more exporters in northern Spain and Aquitaine. “Shippers can gain up to 11 days of Transit time, benefiting in its logistics chain,” he added. Belcastro.
In addition to management in TIN, SYNERGY also operates in the terminals of Miranda de Ebro and Agoncillo, with plans to increase frequencies in 2025. It also maintains its non-stop rail service between the BEST terminal and Toulouse, with three weekly trains in both directions. According to Pablo García, “HUTCHISON LOGISTICS SYNERGY avoids the circulation of more than 25.000 truck transports, avoiding the release of at least 16.000 tons of CO2 annually.”
