Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has acquired the Madrid based Torrejón railway terminal in Spain, via LTF, a subsidiary of MSC’s logistics arm MEDLOG.
[s2If is_user_logged_in()]The acquisition of this new facility is part of MSC’s expansion plan in the Iberian Peninsula and adds to its offer of logistics platforms, one of them in Cordoba, where the company began operating in January 2020.
Torrejón railway terminal will be exclusively dedicated to LTF and MSC’s customers, according to a statement.
MSC said it, “Plans to transform it [Torrejón] into a true logistics hub,” and it will continue to expand and strengthen its logistics network in Spain.
“Torrejón’s geographic situation is perfect to speed up Madrid’s connections with the ports in the north, east and south of the peninsula, bringing not only Europe but also any location in the world closer to the importers and exporters in the Spanish capital,” said MSC.
The Swiss-based carrier went on to note that the new Spanish facility “will not only carry out train loading and unloading operations but will also offer an extensive service for dry and reefer goods, such as storage, goods handling, inland transportation, and customs clearance, among others.”
Due to its strategic location, it will also act as a hub for the operations of MEDWAY, the rail operator which is also part of MSC’s cargo business.
MSC added, “the launch of Torrejón railway terminal will enable companies and supply chains in the Madrid area to benefit from the combination of MSC’s rail and maritime services to help them meet their businesses’ carbon footprint reduction targets.”[/s2If]
