The Port Authority of Aveiro (APA) and the company ABB (Alexandre Barbosa Borges) signed the contract for the construction of the new Intermodal Terminal, located in the Logistics and Industrial Activities Zone (ZALI), next to the railway lines. The project involves an investment of USD 18.4 million and will have an execution period of 480 days.
This is a strategic investment for the Portuguese port, which will increase the efficiency of its railway services and, consequently, expand its area of influence to Castile and León and Madrid. Therefore, this investment is expected to contribute to the economic growth of the Central Region and the country, in addition to promoting a more environmentally sustainable transport system.
With a total area of 10 hectares, the future terminal will include two railway lines prepared to handle trains up to 750 meters in length, cargo parking areas, an administrative and operational services building, container washing and inspection areas, as well as parking for light and heavy vehicles.
The construction of this dual-use Intermodal Terminal is co-financed with European funds through the CEF II program (Connecting Europe Facility), under the Transport-Military Mobility measure, with a contribution rate of 47.3% of the total investment value.
