The port of Cartagena, in the southern part of Spain, is awaiting the inauguration of rail access that will link it up to Madrid and the Mediterranean Corridor later this year.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>The port\u2019s director, Pedro Pablo Hern\u00e1ndez, said that \u201c2025 will mark a milestone for the Port of Cartagena with the launch of the railway from Escombreras, which will allow us to reduce times, costs and carbon dioxide emissions for logistics operators.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cartagena will be linked up to the TEN-T network and central Spain. \u201cThe forecast is that everything will be ready by September of this year, a railway that will connect with the Mediterranean corridor and with the centre of Spain where a dry port is planned in Algodor, Aranjuez\u201d, Hern\u00e1ndez added.<\/p>\n
