I. BACKGROUND: THE MADRID DRY PORT

The Madrid Dry Port was designed with a twin strategic aims in mind:
1.To promote the entire State-owned Spanish Port System - including the interest of
each of the Seaports involved .
2.To promote Madrid as one of the top logistic platform in Europe.

The main objectives of a dry port are:

To extend the hinterland of seaports and multiply the opportunities for sea-rail
transport in different directions.

To facilitate transport organization, customs and administrative procedures for a

competitive position of the port in the region in which the dry port is located. The dry port
situates the seaport closer to its users.

To establish long distance transport services offering a high quality / price ratio.

A. Promotes the seaports hinterland

The convergence of traffic coming from differents seaports gives the
Dry Port of Madrid a singular differential element compared to those
established in other countries, which tend to be linked to just one
seaport.
In the case of the Dry Port of Madrid-Coslada, the concentration of
traffic from different seaports allows the establishment of so-called
land bridges, that link two far off seaports through a land link instead
of a maritime one.
This possibility allows the improvement of the competitiveness of the
Spanish port system as a whole and of each port in particular, as well
as increasing the participation of the rail mode in terms of capturing
traffic generated by the different ports.

 III. INTERMODAL INFRASTRUCTURE

The Madrid Dry Port is located in the municipality of Coslada, very close to
Madrid.
The following main reasons to choice the Coslada location for the
Madrid Dry Port were:
1. Its integration into the Madrid metropolitan area, a vast metropolitan
production centre and consumption centre (4 millions population plus a
further 6 million in the Madrid hinterland area).
2. The existence of good national and international intermodal connections
starting from the radial motorway network and the existing rail network.
3. The concentration in the Coslada area of logistics services companies
along with the existence of major schemes currently under way, the most
outstanding of which include the Coslada Transporte Center (the CTC ), the
Madrid-Barajas Air Cargo Centre (the Madrid Dry Port is located next to
Madrids international airport, Madrid-Barajas ) and the Vicalvaro rail station
specializing in freight traffics ( 1. 5 million m2 )
