The Port Authority of Algeciras (APBA) will activate the Unified Road Freight Service (SUMC) on December 9, a new value-added offering within the Teleport 2.0 Platform aimed at truck traffic on the Strait routes.
The initiative’s goal is to move towards a smarter, more efficient, and predictive management model for Algeciras-Tanger Med and Algeciras-Ceuta road traffic.
As of December 9, the SUMC will centralize the management of booking requests for these vehicles, as well as the appointments to access the port facility. The new service incorporates a digital layer that facilitates coordination with the Strait Traffic shipping companies in a key process such as the booking request.
Furthermore, the format offers complete traceability from the start of the request until boarding, providing greater transparency and efficiency for all agents involved.
Starting December 9, all boarding requests must be processed exclusively through the SUMC, with the corresponding access appointments to the port facility also being generated on a mandatory basis.
To ensure a smooth transition, on December 3 the Port Authority will offer an online training session that will explain in detail the platform’s operation.
