The Dry Port of Madrid, also known as the Dry Port of Coslada, is a logistics platform for the distribution of goods located in the Spanish municipality of Coslada, near Madrid.

Description

[edit]

The draft project for the dry port traces back to 1995.[1] The start of operations took place in 2001, through the link to the ports of Algeciras, Valencia, Bilbao and Barcelona.[2][1] The port of Valencia early consolidated as the main synergy hoarder vis-à-vis the activity of the Dry Port of Coslada, amounting for the 92% of the freight volume by 2016.[2] After the purchase of the stocks of Noatum by the Chinese company COSCO Shipping Ports, the management of the terminal, transferred to Conte Rail, became controlled by Cosco.[3] It has its own customs service.[4]
