Hutchison Ports BEST inaugurates the new Navarra intermodal terminal
Hutchison Ports BEST this week officially inaugurated the new Navarra Intermodal Terminal (TIN), a strategic infrastructure project for the economic and logistics development of the Foral Community of Navarra. The terminal will help promote rail freight transport, strengthen business competitiveness, and advance a more sustainable supply chain.
The inauguration marks the completion of the terminal's expansion and modernisation programme launched by HUTCHISON PORTS BEST following the award of the concession by ADIF in 2024. The project represents an investment of more than €10 million and has received support from the European Union's NextGeneration funds.
As a result of this project, the Navarra Intermodal Terminal has tripled its operational capacity to 42,000 square metres, adding two new 550-metre rail tracks and a new operational yard dedicated to rail activities and container storage.
During the event, Pablo García, Director of Navarra Intermodal Terminal and Synergy, Hutchison Ports BEST' rail operator; stated: "This investment represents a strong commitment to Navarra for the coming decades. The expansion of the terminal will allow us to continue supporting the growth of companies across the region and consolidate a logistics infrastructure capable of enhancing their competitiveness in international markets. At the Navarra Intermodal Terminal, we will continue working to foster the region's economic and industrial development by offering increasingly efficient, reliable and sustainable solutions."
Over recent years, the terminal has established itself as a leading logistics platform for intermodal transport. Since commencing operations in 2013, it has evolved from offering a single weekly rail connection to providing five regular services with the Port of Barcelona, operated primarily by SYNERGY, rail operator specialized in intermodal freight transport.
This connectivity enables companies from Navarra to access a global network of more than 200 international ports, facilitating their export and import operations while improving the competitiveness of their supply chains.
