Calsina Carré opens a new logistics hub in Algeciras

At Calsina Carré, we have opened a new logistics hub in San Roque (Cádiz): Calsina Carré Services Algeciras, a facility designed to offer high value-added services to hauliers in one of the most strategic locations in southern Europe.

Located just 15 kilometres from the Port of Algeciras, the main link between Europe and the Maghreb, this new centre has been established to meet the growing need for secure, modern and efficient infrastructure for international transport across the Strait.

The hub features a secure car park with capacity for 190 vehicles, certified to European Union standards, designed to ensure maximum protection for vehicles, goods and drivers themselves. A reliable environment that allows transport professionals to park, rest and optimise their routes at a key point in their operations.

In line with our commitment to improving conditions for hauliers, the facilities include services such as showers, a laundry, rest areas, vending machines, Wi-Fi, a prayer room and designated dining areas, with the aim of providing a comfortable, functional environment tailored to their needs whilst on the road.

Furthermore, the centre is equipped to cater for different types of transport, with specific areas for ADR goods, connections for refrigerated units and electric charging points.

This opening marks another step forward in the development of Calsina Carré Services, following the 2022 inauguration of our centre in Pont de Molins, which has established itself as a hub with a daily flow of over 1,000 vehicles.

With over 20 years’ experience in the Strait of Gibraltar, we are thus reinforcing our commitment to the Campo de Gibraltar as a strategic hub for international transport, offering this new facility to both group clients and external hauliers.

Looking ahead, we plan to expand our services with the addition of a refuelling station offering multiple fuel types, including biofuels, as well as a logistics warehouse with cross-docking facilities, customs services, a maintenance workshop and a car wash for commercial vehicles.

We continue to move forward by driving solutions that connect routes, people and opportunities.

Driving the digitalisation of sustainable transport

At Calsina Carré, we continue to move forward in our commitment to innovation, sustainability and the digital transformation of transport. In this context, we have received funding through the 2024 Call of the Support Programme for Sustainable and Digital Transport – PATSYD to develop the project “Digital ecosystem for the management and traceability of Calsina Carré’s ITUs”, known as DIGICALUTI.

This project is funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU and its main objective is to create a digital ecosystem based on the sensorisation of ITUs, enabling full traceability from origin to final destination. Through this initiative, we aim to integrate all stakeholders in the value chain and ensure comprehensive, reliable and efficient data capture.

By incorporating advanced technological solutions, DIGICALUTI will enable us to optimise the coordination, monitoring and management of ITUs throughout their entire life cycle. This digitalisation will help improve the use of logistics resources, anticipate demand, strengthen decision-making and significantly reduce the emissions associated with our operations.

One of the project’s main pillars is the promotion of intermodality. Looking ten years ahead, we expect 62% of Calsina Carré’s transport to be managed through intermodal modes, such as rail and maritime transport, in contrast to the current model, which is still predominantly based on road transport. This change represents a firm step towards a more efficient, competitive and environmentally responsible logistics model.

DIGICALUTI also foresees a substantial improvement in operational efficiency, thanks to the optimisation of route planning and ITU allocation. These improvements are expected to reduce delivery times by 20% and minimise operating costs.

In terms of sustainability, the project includes a significant reduction in CO₂ emissions through the incorporation of sensorisation systems and the strategic use of digital corridors. In this regard, a 30% reduction in the carbon footprint associated with transport is expected.

Furthermore, the comprehensive digitalisation of operational processes will allow us to centralise information through Business Intelligence platforms, generate key indicators and access high-quality data to improve decision-making. The implementation of a centralised management system will strengthen the traceability and connectivity of ITUs, reducing data management errors by up to 90%.

With DIGICALUTI, Calsina Carré is taking a further step in its digital transformation and sustainability strategy. We are committed to a more connected, efficient and responsible logistics model, capable of responding to the current challenges of the sector and actively contributing to the decarbonisation of transport.

Project funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU.

We have introduced a new automated pallet measurement system

At Calsina Carré, we continue to build on our commitment to innovation and the continuous improvement of our logistics processes with the introduction of a new automated pallet measurement system.

This new technological solution allows us to integrate weight verification, volumetric measurement using high-precision laser sensors, and photographic capture of each pallet into a single process, ensuring a reliable, consistent and fully traceable record of all goods.

Thanks to volumetric measurement technology using industrial laser sensors, the system is capable of accurately measuring even irregular loads, ensuring stable and consistent data that optimises logistics planning and pricing. Added to this is a certified weighing system and automatic photographic recording, which reinforce transparency and control in every operation.

For goods with special dimensions or non-standard volumes, the process is completed through manual measurements following a standardised internal procedure, ensuring operational continuity and traceability in all cases.

The implementation of this system forms part of our Technological Improvement Plan, aimed at building a more rigorous, controlled and scalable logistics system. A model that allows us to standardise data, record every movement accurately and prepare for future expansions and automation within our operational network.
This improvement translates into direct benefits for our customers, such as greater data accuracy, reduced discrepancies, optimised transport and more efficient control of operations.

We continue to incorporate technology to offer an increasingly reliable and transparent service, aligned with the needs of today’s transport sector.
