The port of Alicante, in southeastern Spain, is working on a study for the organisation of railway terminals within the facility. The study will also focus on the construction of a brand new terminal, whose location, however, might still be somewhat in question.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>The study will be carried out by Civis Consultores Asociados and should be delivered before the end of February. It should take into consideration the possible synergies between the future terminal and the Alicante Port Hub Terminal, managed by JSV Logistics, which already has connections to Madrid and Miranda de Ebro.<\/p>\n

The somewhat short period allocated for the study is due to the fact that the Alicante Port Authority wants to submit a proposal to its board of directors in the short term to declare the project as an infrastructure of general interest, Spanish media AlicantePlaza claimed. If and once this happens, the executive project can be defined and the hunt for funds can commence.<\/p>\n

The location pickle<\/h2>\n

The future rail terminal at the port of Alicante should be located in the facility on dock 19, in an area managed by Terminales Mar\u00edtimas del Sureste which would be given under concession. However, there seems to already be a project in (parts of) the same area: a fuel storage plant promoted by XC Business 90.<\/p>\n

According to a previous agreement between TMS and XC Business 90, some of the land on dock 19 should be reserved for six tanks, which would occupy some of the land planned for the future terminal. Legal actions are currently being taken in this context, with the government not considering the issue as a priority.<\/p>\n
