The strategic collaboration between the Port Authority of Marín and freight forwarders marks a new milestone in Spanish multimodal transport, consolidating a comprehensive logistics offering that connects the mainland with the Canary Islands through innovative, efficient and secure services.
Multimodal Transport: The Logistics Challenge — Connecting Markets with Efficiency
The complexity of trade between mainland Spain and the Canary Islands demands flexible, agile and coordinated logistics solutions. Determining factors such as geographical dispersion, specific customs regulations and the need to minimise costs require advanced, integrated management.
- Adaptation to singular regulations such as the Canary Islands’ Economic and Fiscal Regime (REF).
- Optimisation of customs clearance to reduce transit times.
- Coordination between maritime, road and rail modes.
In this framework, multimodal transport is positioned as the key solution for maintaining competitiveness and reliability throughout the supply chain.
Strategic Alliance: Port Authority of Marín and Feteia-Oltra
On 23 October 2025, representatives of the Spanish Federation of Freight Forwarders (Feteia-Oltra) were received by the President of the Port Authority of Marín. This meeting reinforces a shared commitment to strengthening port and rail-port infrastructure, improving critical processes such as customs clearance and facilitating greater intermodal connectivity.
- Strengthening of rail-port transport.
- Improvement of customs services for exporters and importers.
- Implementation of digital tools for advanced documentary management.
This collaborative model is fundamental for operators such as Logistics Express, enabling the offering of solutions adapted to both the national market and traffic with the Canary Islands.
