The new facility is
designed to support the storage and movement of refrigerated goods, including
food products and other temperature-sensitive shipments. The investment
reflects growing demand for specialised logistics infrastructure that can
maintain cargo quality throughout the supply chain. The terminal has a capacity of 20,000 pallet
positions across 12 refrigerated and frozen storage chambers. It also features
500 metres of quay, customs warehouses and a Border Inspection Centre for meat
and plant products. These facilities are intended to streamline cargo
inspection, storage and distribution. The terminal can handle conventional refrigerated
vessels, roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) traffic, containers and short-sea shipping.
It is also designed to handle consolidated cargo from North Africa, broadening
the port’s role in regional trade.
PTP Group aims to use Cádiz as a European logistics gateway for
agricultural and food products from Argentina and other South American markets.
The company expects the facility to support faster deliveries, preserve
cold-chain integrity and improve access to European consumers. The investment is expected to create around 35 direct
jobs and a similar number of indirect jobs, according to the Port Authority of
the Bay of Cádiz. The new terminal strengthens Cádiz’s position in
temperature-controlled logistics by combining port access, specialised storage
and cargo inspection facilities in a single location, supporting trade links
between Europe, Latin America and North Africa.
