It is planned to undertake infrastructures such as rail access, the border inspection center or the management of the northern zone.

The general director of the Port Authority of Valencia (APV), Francesc Snchez, stressed that “the Port of Sagunto is an infrastructure in fundamental growth for economic activity, the business fabric and society for the commitment to port-city integration that we are developing from the APV. Valenciaport’s commitment to this infrastructure is reflected in that we are going to invest 136 million euros in the coming years and start the study for the future Third Drsena “.

Francesc Snchez has participated in a digital meeting organized by the Association of Entrepreneurs of the Camp de Morvedre (ASECAM) about the Port of Sagunto. The general director of the APV has highlighted the Investment Plan that Valenciaport is developing at the Sagunto facilities for the next 2020-2025 years. “One of the infrastructures that are already underway is the railway access and the beach of the vas, which has a budget of 35 million euros and which is going to be a qualitative leap for activities in the Port,” he indicated. The works are going to connect the Parc Sagunt facilities to the port, and a two-branch beach to connect to the central and southern areas of the port for loading and unloading operations for 750-meter trains. An initiative that also has the support of the European Union through the ERDF Funds.

This Investment Plan for the Port of Sagunto also includes the improvement of railway connections on the Sagunto-Teruel-Zaragoza line, which has a budget of 50 million euros. During his intervention, Snchez also referred to the new Border Control Post, whose works have already been completed and which is expected to be operational by the end of the year, which will allow “the development of new traffic such as containers that require customs controls.”

The director general of the APV has signaled, like other investments for Sagunto, the implantation of the bulk warehouse of the new terminal in the northeast pier to be built by Noatum or the next tender for the Multipurpose Terminal in the Centro Pier that will have a public investment of 7.5 million euros and a private part amounting to 10 million.
