Mediterranean Axis Corridor
New rail connection to the Port of Castellón and the intermodal station—planned for 2026
Intermodal station
The southern rail access to the Port of Castellón is a crucial infrastructure for the creation of an integrated port, where maritime and rail traffic complement each other efficiently. This project will position the Port of Castellón as a key intermodal logistics hub in the Mediterranean.
With completion expected by June 2026, this access will directly connect to the Mediterranean Corridor, thus driving the economic growth of the province. The 8.3 km project is designed to allow trains of up to 750 metres in length to operate, thanks to its mixed-gauge tracks, which will facilitate the logistics of goods to the general railway network.
The project includes the construction of three electrified reception and dispatch tracks for freight, as well as two loading and unloading tracks and a paved platform for the handling and storage of products. The intermodal station will be located next to the port’s rail access and will be linked to the LogistiCS project, covering approximately 2.2 million square metres promoted by Castellón City Council for the development of industry and logistics in the area.
This strategic development represents not only a significant investment in infrastructure but also in the future economic and logistical growth of our region. It will enhance the efficiency and sustainability of freight transport, optimise port access, and promote sustainable economic growth.
