One of the works will be carried out at the container facilities managed by the Noatum Container Terminal Bilbao, situated at Dock A1; the other will be in the third phase of the Storage and Distribution Zone (ZAD3), located at Dock A2. The total cost of the award amounts to nearly 1.7 million euros and the time for compliance is nine months.<\/p>\n<p>The aim of both works is to optimize the present internal accesses of the Port of Bilbao by providing bypasses as<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14442\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14442\" style=\"width: 305px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bilbaoport.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/muellesconten2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-14442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bilbaoport.eus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/muellesconten2-305x203.jpg\" alt=\"View of docks A2 and A1\" width=\"305\" height=\"203\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14442\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View of docks A2 and A1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/div><div class=\"one_half column-last bbcol\"><\/p>\n<p>alternatives for rail traffic in order to guarantee service to the companies in the zone in case of breakdowns or the need to carry out conservation works.<\/p>\n<p>Container traffic by rail has increased in recent years in the Port and has risen from 13% in 2012 to 18% in 2014. This, together with the general increase in its container traffic, means that \u201cthe Port is obliged to guarantee internal rail traffic by giving assurances about the service and providing improvements for alternatives in convoy circulation\u201d according to Port Authority sources.<\/p>\n<p>The improvement in the accesses, as well as the increase in the number of weekly services between the Port and different points on the Iberian Peninsula, form part of the Port Authority\u2019s strategic plan to increase rail traffic entering and leaving the Port, and thus increase its inland hinterland.<\/p>\n<p>At present, shippers have intermodal rail services available connecting the Port of Bilbao with Vitoria, Burgos, Madrid, Guadalajara, Seville, Zaragoza, Navarra, Barcelona, Castell\u00f3n, Valencia and Murcia. The latter is a reefer train which, at the moment, departs from Nonduermas twice weekly.<\/p>\n<p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/p>\n <div class=\"hide-for-small page-options-container hide-for-print\"> <hr class=\"page-options\"\/> <ul class=\"inline right page-options\"><li><a class=\"bmprint\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Print this article\"><i class=\"icon-print\"><\/i><\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"bmsend2friend\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Article of interest: Port of Bilbao optimises intenal rail accesses -
