Intermodal logistics hub in southern Europe

The Zaragoza Maritime Terminal began operations in 2001. It was promoted by Mercazaragoza and the Port of Barcelona with the goal of promoting imports and exports from Aragón and all its area of influence. With its own rail facilities, today it is a top-level logistics hub on Spain's national scene and works towards optimising intermodal cargo traffic.

TMZ has a permanent connection with the main ports run by the State. The platform currently has four weekly routes to Bilbao, plus another which links Bilbao/Zaragoza/Valencia and 25 weekly connections with the Port of Barcelona, an organisation which is also a strategic partner of the project.

It has been put in place inside the Logistics Activity Area of Mercazaragoza, the food and agriculture logistics platform of Valle del Ebro, close to strategic points in its area of influence. It also possesses a rail connection to the national network, a direct link to the Vascoaragonesa motorway, the Madrid-Zaragoza dual carriageway, and, as a result, to the road network that links Zaragoza with the rest of the Peninsula.
