Summary sheet
The project concerns the second phase of development of a multi-modal freight-handling zone (sea, air, rail and road) in the southern part of the expanding Barcelona port. The EIB has already contributed to financing the previous phase of this project.
The project will help attract traffic to the Port of Barcelona by offering well located facilities to transport, freight handling companies and shippers. It will also improve intermodality (seaport, airport, road, rail) and communications between the Barcelona hinterland and third countries through more efficient logistics chains.
