Sagunto inner rail project advances

The Port Authority of Valencia (PAV) is advancing the development of the inner rail network of the Port of Sagunto by requesting technical support for site management, health, and safety coordination.

This project is a key part of PAV’s rail traffic strategy, which has total estimated costs of more than €240 million (US$304 million). It supports the port authority’s objective of decarbonising port activities and combating climate change and becoming n emission-neutral precinct by 2030.

The development of the Port of Sagunto’s inner rail network is estimated to cost €17.5 million (US$22 million). It entails an 11-month schedule and involves the design of an intermodal goods facility with one area for containers and another facility for automobiles.

The tender deadline is September 25, 2023.

PAV has also issued a tender for the provision of a service that maintains the units that monitor the quality of air and other environmental parameters, as part of increasing understanding of emissions generated by port activities. There are two of the environmental control facilities in the Port of Valencia offering a wide coverage of air quality and port noise in real time.
