DESCRIPTION
... The Port of Cartagena faces the future with a substantial improvement of its facilities could cope with the normal increase of its traditional business and the increased demand generated by the growth of its business environment. But with little available space to expand its facilities again. This is expected when a strong expansion of maritime traffic in the western Mediterranean during the next few years and the evidence that the Port of Cartagena has an excellent location to take advantage of the great routes of containers coming from Asia. For this year an estimated turnover of 21 million TEUs by this route and an increase of about 10% annually. A study commissioned by the Port Authority of Cartagena to the British consultancy Ocean Shipping Consultants concluded that the Port of Cartagena would capture three types of traffic: the transfer type 'relay' between major shipping lines, the type of transshipment 'hub & spoke' or concentration and distribution, and related import-export traffic at the 'interland' of the port land. Aggregate estimated traffic potential 2 million TEUs in the year 2020.
... The Strategic Plan for Development of the Murcia 2007 - 2013 finds that the project could attract the traffic of goods and make the port of Cartagena on one of the main drivers of regional economic activity is the construction of the Port of El Gorguel . Studies by the Port Authority of Cartagena is to say that a good site for the lower valuation of the ecological zone with respect to its environment and it allows drafts of up to 50 meters, the limit beyond which condition the profitability of the investment.
... It is intended that this dock can accommodate vessels nearly 400 meters in length and carrying capacity of 11,000 TEUs, dimensions that greatly limit what ports can accommodate. In addition, the new dock would allow the development of new scheduled routes to North Africa through Italy and roll-on/roll-off vessels. Also would the incorporation of Port of Cartagena to the "motorways of the sea" project promoted by the European Commission to boost short-sea shipping, in the vicinity of 300 km, at national and European level so that these pathways are competitively with the road. The construction of the dock Gorguel would involve an estimated investment of 1,600 million euros in infrastructure and port facilities. And the economic impact once you move a volume of 1.5 million TEUs will create 1,400 full time jobs according to a study by the Polytechnic University of Cartagena.
... It is not enough, however, with the new dock. This project requires enhancing the capacity of the area to improve intermodal transport links both by rail and by road, which is the basis for the development of channels integrated transport. They used a combination of various means of transport from one company, so that the user is offering direct origin-destination without having to handle the recruitment of separate transport sea and then transfer from the port. To do so would be of great importance to come to develop the rail corridor proposed by FERRMED for freight from Algeciras to Stockholm, referred to in the section above. And the creation of a logistics platform to provide large to businesses of all logistics support required by the technological development of the transport sector. The project of the Container Dock of El Gorguel provides the necessary construction of a Logistic Activities Area (ZAL) attached more than two million square meters.
