INCREASE IN PORT RAIL TRAFFIC
Intermodality, an
essential piece for
competitiveness
The majority of the freight volume which enters
and leaves from Bilbao's
port installations happens
through piping (51%), consistent with the significant
importance of the market
for hydrocarbons, LNG
and other liquid products.
Road transport is employed in 42% of cases as a
complement for maritime
transport.
Port railway traffic’s figure, although much lower,
is also an essential piece
for the port's competitiveness because each mode
of transport contributes
value for efficient logistics.
Hence, companies from
Bilbao's port sector have
looked after intermodality
and rely on the rail, with
the aim of providing a response to their clients' different needs.
Cargo transported by rail
in 2015 (1,694,904 metric
tonnes) to/from the docks
of Bilbao's port represen-
ted 5% of the total traffic,
7% of the total traffic recorded on the commercial
docks and 10% of the freight likely to use this mode
of transport by type of industry/product.
This volume of port railway tonnage means a
10% increase compared to
2014. Among the increased tonnage, 11.5% correspond to containerized cargo and 4% to other freight
(general cargo and liquid
bulks) which exceeded,
in this case, 308,000 metric tonnes. In TEUs, the
year closed with a figure
of 122,000, equivalent to
19.5% of the total TEU volume and a 9% increase.
The traffic is received
or sent directly from the
maritime terminals, which
have their station or railway siding where the trains are prepared, thus optimising Bilbao's logistics
position, preventing additional handling or haulage.
Rail Port Services
Long distance rail port services are carried out from/
to Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Zaragoza, Guadalajara
(Azuqueca de Henares), Seville, Murcia and Castellón.
Short and medium distance services connect with Burgos, Navarre and Vitoria-Gasteiz. Shipping companies
and operators have maintained and even strengthened
the rail port services, which carry out close to one hundred trips weekly including arrivals and departures.
The rail port traffic figures in 2015, in terms of absolute volume, point to a record year which justifies the
importance that the Bilbao port community has given
to following up on railway infrastructure projects which
are being planned for the Bilbao Metropolitan Arterial
Network (access to the High Speed Line to Bilbao and
the South Railway Variant)
SHORT SEA SHIPPING
Brittany Ferries
start a service with
Poole
In February, Brittany Services started a ro-ro service
which connects the ports of Bilbao and Poole twice
a week.
MARÍTIMA DÁVILA BILBAO
NORDIKMARITIME
First call of
the SDW
Shipping
with South
America
Strengthening
positions in
Denmark and
the Baltic
The call by the M/V
Johanna, on 3 March,
started the new direct
monthly
maritime
link
that SDW Shipping and
Marítima Dávila Bilbao have
implemented from the port
of Bilbao with Colombia,
Ecuador, Peru, Chile and
Bolivia. The service admits
general cargo, ro-ro and
IMO, heavy, over-sized and
project cargo.
The company offers its
services principally intended
for project cargo
The service, represented by Bergé Marítima Bilbao,
is covered by the "MV Pelican", 155 metres long,
with capacity for around a hundred unaccompanied
cars and accommodation for eight drivers. Included
among the possible freight that can be carried are
the goods typically transported by trailers (including
frozen and refrigerated cargo) and transport vehicles
(cars or buses). The ship also allows special transport
and cargo on "mafis". To do so, the ship has a ramp
which allows shipments of up to 60 tonnes (of weight
on the ramp) and up to 5 m in height.
VASCO SHIPPING
Service to
North Africa
and the
Middle East
The ship leaves the port of Bilbao on Mondays at 12
p.m. and Thursdays at 8 p.m. Departures from Poole
occur on Tuesdays at 12 a.m and Saturdays at 4 p.m.
With the launch of this service, Brittany Ferries
responds to the new demands of transport companies,
while also freeing space on the ships which connect
Bilbao and Portsmouth and which offer accompanied
transport service.
Thus, with the "MV Pelican", the company operates
five weekly departures from the port of Bilbao to
the United Kingdom, by adding these two weekly
departures to the three (on Tuesdays, Wednesdays
and Thursdays) which have connected with
Portsmouth
On 4 March, the Nordikmaritime service, carried out
by the M/V Karion, celebrated its 45th call in the port
of Bilbao. The company thus
strengthens its position in
Bilbao with the regular services it operates every 20
days with the Danish port of
Esbjerg and with individual
calls such as Nantes, Immingham and Bremerhaven, on
its voyage toward Denmark,
or later in the Baltic such as
Kristiansand, Vasteras and
Gdynia.
Starting from the Swedish
port of Uddevalla and the
Netherlands' Port of Vlissingen, the two multi-purpose
vessels with which they operate make their last European
port of call at Bilbao before
heading to Callao (Peru),
and Iquique and Arica (Chile) as base ports. There is
also the possibility of calling
at Buenaventura (Colombia)
and expanding the service
through to Valparaíso (Chile)
depending on cargo available. Additionally, the call at
Arica facilitates access to the
Bolivian market.
With an estimated transit
time of 24 days between Bilbao and Callao, the service
has among its new aspects
the possibility to operate
with net prices (without BAF,
CAF surcharges, etc.) and the
multi-functionality which the
vessels' ro-ro features offer
Vasco Shipping Services
has started a weekly service, as the representative of
Cosco, from Bilbao to the
ports of Alger (Algeria),
Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) and
Jebel Ali (United Arab Emirates).
The connection is via Algeciras, from where Cosco has established weekly
connections. In the case of
Alger it is a feeder service
from Algeciras, and in the
case of Jeddah and Jebel
Ali, it is the MINA service
which connects the port
with the Middle East and
India
BERGÉ MARÍTIMA
PETRONOR
Acquisition of
a mobile crane
Renovations
of its maritime
terminal
Bergé Marítima Bilbao
has reinforced its operating
capacity with the acquisition of a new Liebherr 550
mobile crane, with a lifting
capacity of up to 144 tonnes. The crane will be used
for new heavy cargo projects and to handle all types
of freight
PUERTO

NEWS 72
Petroleos del Norte (Petronor) has invested nearly
two million Euros in replacing the loading arms of
the SP-3 berth of the Punta
Lucero maritime terminal,
in the port of Bilbao, with
new arms equipped with
the latest environmentally
friendly technologies.
TORO Y BETOLAZA
BBG
All roll
trailers
received
In recent weeks, Toro y
Betolaza has completed
receiving a second round
of 6 roll trailers out of an
initial total order of 12 units.
Toro y Betolaza's knowhow built up over decades
in handling ro-ro cargo and
its application to the field
of general cargo allow the
company to work with these
over-sized 40' equipment
with a 130-tonne payload.
With these maffis, heavy
goods can be received,
which later facilitates the
moves
or
manoeuvres
needed to load the ship, with
the subsequent savings in
time and money in handling
and
additional
means.
An example of this is the
recent delivery of 110-tonne
Nacelles. This machinery is
added to the new Liebherr
LHM 400 mobile four-cable
crane with a lifting capacity
of 104 tonnes, which started
operations in January
Gas, a strategic
business which is
gaining strength
The old arms had been
operating for 40 years,
from the time when Petronor started its activities in
the port. The new arms, by
the German manufacturer
(SVT), have an emergency
release couplers or ERC,
which minimise the likelihood of a possible contamination. Furthermore, by
having a hydraulic coupling
system, connection and
disconnection operations’
times have been reduced,
thus decreasing laytime.
The entire coupling manoeuvre to the ship's manifold (the ends of the loading
and unloading lines) is done
by remote control.
The two 12-inch arms are
for dirty products and the
other two 10-inch arms are
for clean products. All these have an air draft (maximum height from the ballast condition to the ship's
manifold) and reach up to
15 metres, which can accommodate larger vessels
Bahía de Bizkaia Gas (BBG), a major supplier of natural gas destined for domestic, commercial and industrial
consumption, located in the port of Bilbao, unloaded 25
LNG vessels and loaded another four during 2015. BBG
furthermore supplied 1,035 LNG road transport tankers.
The cargo unloaded added up to a total of 3.4 million m3
and the loaded cargo reached 0.5 million m3 of LNG.
BBG- owned in equal parts by Enagás and Ente Vasco
de la Energy (the Basque Government’s Energy Agency)- regassified 15% of the liquid natural gas introduced
in the Spanish gas system and with it contributed 7% of
the total of natural gas consumed. On the other hand,
it supplied 70% of the natural gas needs in the Basque
Country. With all this, BBG has fulfilled its mission of guaranteeing the supply of this energy source to the Basque
country and to strengthening the gas system.
Euskadour
A year ago BBG inaugurated its third liquid natural gas
storage tank, with which it increased its capacity up to
450,000 cubic metres. Now this business has experienced a new impulse with the recent launch, by Enagas, of
the compression station in Irún, which has required an
investment of 20 million Euros.
The new station has increased the transport capacity of
Euskadour, the gas pipeline connecting Spain and France,
by ten fold, allowing the regassified natural gas in BBG
to be exported to Europe. Furthermore, it is prepared for
the future business of bunkering, which is expected to
receive an important impulse for this gas business
