Expanding Efficiency: Introducing Samskip Spain’s New Cross-Docking Facility
4 February 2025
Samskip Spain is proud to announce the launch of our state-of-the-art cross-docking facility in the port of Santander. This 1000 sqm facility, just 5 minutes from the terminal where our vessels operate, is designed to streamline operations for palletized cargo (both dry and reefer pure crossdocking) and offer faster, more efficient service to our customers. With this new facility, we can now easily handle complex logistics and provide quicker access to the hinterland, where rail connections are still being developed. In the future, we aim to expand the facility’s capabilities to accommodate all types of cargo, including out-of-gauge, and will soon install fixed loading docks to further optimize the process.
Key Benefits for Customers:
- Proximity: The facility’s close location to the terminal ensures rapid loading and unloading, reducing transit times.
- Versatility: Capable of handling various types of cargo with plans to expand.
- Strategic Expansion: By building our presence in this critical region, we’re able to better serve customers who operate beyond current rail connections.
- Growth Potential: As our business grows, so will the facility’s capacity, ensuring long-term value for customers.
At Samskip, we continuously strive to enhance our logistics solutions. This new cross-docking facility is part of our commitment to offering more reliable and efficient services, designed to meet the evolving needs of our customers. We’re here to help your business grow with seamless, innovative solutions.
