The Dry Port aims to be the key logistical corridor to Algeciras
http://www.diariodeburgos.es/noticia/ZE21422BB-B3A2-AEF9-AEA6FA596A670A48/20120628/puerto/seco/aspira/ser/clave/logistica/corredor/algeciras28/06/2012The agreement reflects accurately what Villafría aspires to be for many years, a vital logistical node in the north of the peninsula, a kind of a center of rail freight business, in which the major ports in northern peninsular ( Bilbao and Gijon, mainly) concentrated loads for shipping to destinations such as Madrid, Seville, among other capitals, or the ports of Algeciras, Barcelona and Valencia.
Villafría, says Gonzalo Ansotegui, manager of the dry port, "fits perfectly into the puzzle strategic rail freight because it is very well situated as it is an industry that demands around rail services." In fact, since their operation despite the removal of the service to the port of Valencia, has tripled container traffic up to nearly 4,500 last year, a movement that comfortably exceed this year with the arrival of trains from (or address) Bilbao.
Villafría currently operates seven trains a week: three to Zaragoza, one of Barcelona and the rest doing the triangle Bilbao-Madrid via Zaragoza Villafría. These convoys generate an average traffic of 24 trucks per day loading and unloading work. However, estimating in three hours time to the development of a convoy, the terminal Burgos could have capacity to serve six daily, which would be necessary to increase the services available from Renfe, operating cranes, transport and could even extend to night time activity (currently, operates from 8.00 to 14.00 and from 16.00 to 18.00). It is feasible, he recognizes.
Within 10-15 years, Villafría also need much more space, because a logistic node bases its activity on the turnover of goods. Operators require a large stock of empty containers and many shipping companies to shit merchandise. "Do not think about tomorrow, but in the next 20 years," recalls Ansótegui, who points out that to date only been implemented half of the 2,500 m2 expansion of the beach road approved in 2011 by the ADIF, allowing improved loading and unloading large convoys of 410 meters in length without costly maneuvers.
"Underutilized"
The Dry Port manager insists that, despite its potential, the terminal is still Villafría "underutilized" (in fact, two days a week serving no trains) and although the numbers show that is the center most important logistical Castilla y? Leon, "the Board endeavors to promote other sites that have no future and not wanting to see that in Burgos things are done well, even in times of crisis." The dispersion of supply rail logistics in the region, they conclude, reduces competitiveness and the investment required to Puerto Seco.
This is a not bad if you think that the main connection to the south of the peninsula, the line Burgos-Aranda, is unusable for freight traffic, an old claim that touches himself to Arandina industry and has not yet solution.
