Beschreibung

The project consists of the construction of a railway connection to the new exterior port terminal in Ferrol, Spain. This new link will be used to transport dry bulk and containerised cargo from the outer port facilities of Ferrol to their inland destinations via the existing rail network.

Ziele

The connection, with a total length of around 6.4 km, intends to provide an alternative access to the new terminal and consequently reduce road transport and enhance the supply chain efficiency of the related hinterland.
