After a trial period, the elec-tronic identification of generalcargo for customs administrationpurposes by means of a two-di-mensional code has begun.

The code of 80 characters ne-cessary for electronic customs cle-arance for departure from the portis printed in the smallest spacepossible.

A specific computer terminalwill include in the despatch notealong with other data, with noneed to type, information on eachconsignment, the number ofunits or kilos and the customsnumber.

The first company to adapt itsdespatch notes to the identifica-tion protocol and pass all the testswith flying colours was Agemasa,a stevedoring company speciali-sing in general cargo, operatingfrom the Reina Victoria and E-2Sur docks.

Close to finalising the adapta-tion process are ConsignacionesToro y Betolaza, a company thatoperates from the Bizkaia and AZ1docks in general and bulk cargoand Bilbao Atlantic Fruit Terminal(BAFT), the terminal specialised inloading, unloading, storage andtraceability of fresh fruit and ve-getables.

The conversion of the controldigits into a bi-dimensional barcode allows the customs adminis-tration control to be carried outwithout manually typing in thedata. From now on, the despatchnote printed from the relevant ter-minals for the truck drivers willallow the customs staff to readthe information electronically atthe exit from the port.

The objective of this projectwhich has required coordinationwith all the links in the logisticschain, even when there is no con-

tractual relationship betweenthem, will allow a substantial re-duction in the time that truckdrivers have to dedicate to havingtheir load verified to ensure therelevant customs despatch hasbeen issued.

The goal in the medium-term isfor the rest of the port terminals,as necessary collaborators in theproject, to incorporate the barcode on to their despatch notesor transport papers to increasethe speed of customs controls for

imported goods, above all at peaktimes.

These tasks are part of thework undertaken by the general,bulk and container break-downworking group in which the fo-llowing companies have partici-pated: Agemasa, Asociación deConsignatarios, ATEIA, AutoridadPortuaria, Auxiliar Portuaria, De-pendencia Provincial de la Adua-na, Colegio de Agentes de Adua-nas, Consignaciones Toro yBetolaza, Marítima Candina, Ser-vicios Logísticos Portuarios SLP,BAFT (container break-down), Ter-minales Marítimas de Bilbao (con-tainer break-down), Abra Termi-nales Marítimas (containerbreak-down).

Binaria 21, the companywhich was awarded the secondphase of the Storage and Distri-bution Zone (ZAD2) in the Port ofBilbao, still has the applicationperiod for companies wishing toset up within the logistics areaopen.

Binaria 21 has already recei-ved a number of proposals fromlogistics and maritime companieswishing to occupy the five ware-houses to be built in ZAD2. Eachwarehouse will offer 10,000m2,in some cases dividable. The wa-rehouse area has both road andrail access.

The construction of the50,757m2 of warehousing invol-ves an investment of over 20.77million euros.

The project will be developedin two phases. In the first, the de-veloper will build two warehousestotalling approximately 20,000m2

to be handed over in the secondquarter of 2008.

In the second phase, Binaria21, which belongs to the Gran Eu-ropa development group in whichthe BBK Savings Bank and Elkar-kidetza Pension Fund Manage-

ment Company are partners, willundertake the construction of theremaining 30,000m2. Delivery isexpected in the second quarter of2009.

The warehouses of ZAD2 aredesigned for the handling, stora-ge and distribution of all types ofgoods except for those considereddangerous goods and the loadingbays will be equipped for theemptying and filling of contai-ners and with fire prevention sys-

tems. The area for vehicle mano-euvring will occupy over14,100m2.

Given the growing demand forlogistics installations close to thedock areas, the Port Authority ofBilbao decided at the beginning ofthe decade to develop a Storageand Distribution Zone (ZAD) onthe land won back from the seain the Abra Exterior.

In 2002, it approved the cons-truction and commercialisation

of the first phase ZAD1, whilst inmarch of this year the secondcontract was awarded.

The Grupo Gran Europa alsoled the ZAD1 project through itssubsidiary company ZAD Logísti-ca XXI.

Gran Europa is a rapidly ex-panding private developer thatworks in developing zones of eco-nomic activity. It is present th-roughout the Iberian peninsular,where it manages the Azuquecadry port in Guadalajara close toMadrid.

Both the first and the secondphases of the port of Bilbao ZADsenjoy rail connections with thedry port with weekly return jour-neys.

Bridgestone Corporation,the world-leader in tyre andrubber products is supportingthe con-ro service run byTransfennica between the portsof Bilbao and Zeebrugge in Bel-gium due to the environmentaland logistics advantages of thistype of transport.

The link between Bilbao andZeebrugge, where Bridgestonehas an 85,000m2 warehouse,provides the tyre multinationalwith transit time, frequencyand operative benefits.

Bridgestone's decision tosupport the trucking companiesusing this sea route is motiva-ted by its environmental res-pect strategy and its commit-

ment to the inter-modal poli-cies of the European Unionwhich are attempting to reducethe number of trucks on Euro-pean roads by promoting lesspolluting alternatives.

Bridgestone Europecurrently ships 1,500 loadsannually between Spain andBelgium.

The Transfennica servicebetween Bilbao and Belgiumbegan to operate on September26th using the ships "FreidrichRuss" and "Elizabeth Russ" eachwith a capacity for 190 trailersand containers.

There are three departuresper week in each direction andsailing time is 38 hours.

The first carrier to reach anagreement with BridgestoneEurope to use the Transfennicaservice is the 2XL companybased in Zeebrugge.

CAF (Grupo Construccionesy Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles, S.A.),which is widely present ininternational railway rollingstock markets, uses the Port ofBilbao for two thirds of itsexports.

This proportion is particu-larly interesting as CAF, a Bas-que company in origin, is nowpresent throughout the Iberianpensinsular and uses differentlogistical infrastructures, as ithas plants in Beasain, Irún,Zaragoza, Castejón and Linaresas well as international subsi-diaries in the United States,Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Ire-land, Italy, Algiers and Turkey.

Over the last year, 95% ofthe transport contracted by thecompany to attend to its inter-national projects was of acombined nature using mariti-me transport and 65% of thesea shipping embarked fromBilbao.

The destinations for themajority of the loads shippedwere the projects under deve-lopment in Mexico and Ireland.November also saw the firstshipments from Bilbao for pro-jects in Algiers and Brazil.

In parallel, in the case ofcontainer traffic of pieces foroverseas assembly or directsales of components to othercountries, the Port of Bilbao hasbeen the logistics centre chosenfor 70% of these shipments

with final destinations in thelast year mainly in Mexico,India, South Africa, Canada andthe United States.

For domestic shipments ofboth rolling stock and compo-nents CAF uses both road andrail transport.

Products and SalesThe range of products of the

group, which are characterisedby their high level of incorpora-ted technology, covers a widerange from standard locomoti-ves through to high-speedtrains.

In recent years, CAF has alsospecialised in the field of urbanand suburban electric units(metros and trams) as well asinter-city trains.

Group sales reached 806million euros in 2006 with a

profit of 42.5 million euros. The industrial growth of the

company in the last decademeans that its order bookcurrently stands at well over3,000 million euros of whichabout 35% is destined forexport.

In the international rail pas-senger transport vehicle market,CAF has been awarded a num-ber of outstanding contractsfor, among others, the Monte-rrey, Mexico City, Amsterdam,Rome and Washington metros,articulated units for the UScities of Sacramento and Pitts-burgh, units for the rail connec-tion between Hong Kong airportand the city centre, diesel unitsfor Ireland and units for theHeathrow - London city centrelink.

The first bio-diesel productionplant installed in the port of Bil-bao, Biocombustibles de Zierbana,expects to commence activitynext June.

The company forecasts a pro-duction figure of 200,000 tonsof EN14214 (FAME) quality bio-diesel.

The start-up of the plant,which will bill annually 144.5 mi-llion euros, involves the creationof 35 direct jobs and around 100induced jobs.

The firm, founded on 28thApril 2004, decided to locate itsbio-diesel production plant in theindustrial area of the port of Bil-bao for the numerous advanta-ges that the site offers.

The 25,000m2 plot in the ou-ter area of the Zierbana dock hasexcellent communication infras-tructures for the transport of go-ods. Its location in the port allowsfor reception and despatch of go-ods by sea, road and railway. It isalso close to the final consumer

and potential raw material sup-pliers, which works in favour ofsupply logistics and the transportof goods, both raw materials andfinished products.

Construction is being carriedout by the Austrian technologyfirm BDI which provides solutionsfor the industrial usage of rene-wable resources through the im-plementation of bio-diesel pro-duction technologies whichcomply with the strictest qualitystandards (EN 14124 of the CEN-FAME) and operate ecologicallypermanently.

For the production of bio-die-sel, 75% of the raw material willbe soya bean oil and 25% palm oilRBD.

Apart from bio-diesel, theplant will also produce as sideproducts, 22,000 tons per year oftechnical glycerine and 2,600 tonsper year of fertilizer.

The independent oil operatorEsergui has approved aninvestment of 9.3 million eurosto increase the storage capacityof its oil terminal located in theport of Bilbao at Zierbana.

The extension project fore-sees the construction of twonew tanks with a joint capacityof 70 million litres.

Once terminated in Decem-ber 2008, the oil operator willhave a total storage capacity ofup to 220 million litres of dieselfuel and petrol against thecurrent limit of 150 millionlitres.

Apart from its traditionalrole as a supplier of diesel andpetrol, Esergui also distributes,

from its plant in the port of Bil-bao, bio-diesel derived fromvirgin vegetable oil.

This type of bio-diesel is anadditive and undergoes strictquality controls, which guaran-tee sustainability and environ-mental balance.

This increase in the capa-city of its terminal will allowEsergui to optimize its strate-gic stock and enjoy greaterautonomy in operations as itincreases its supply potentialboth by road and rail via itsown loading area next to theterminal.

Located just onehundred kilometresfrom the port of Bilbao,the Logistics platformArasur has a total sur-face area of2,000,000m2, whichallows it to offer spacefor logistics activitiesat very competitivecosts.

Arasur has, cu-rrently, over 70,000m2of warehousing, 80%of which is occupied byprivate operators. It al-so has over 40,000m2

further space, which isfully urbanised andwith foundations laid for twofurther warehouses.

In a period of ten years - thefirst phase of the project - thebuilt up area is expected to reachabout half of the total, one mi-llion square metres.

The size of this logistics pro-ject is a consequence of its stra-

tegic location on a perfect landcommunications site, with twomotorways the AP-1 and the AP68, the A-1 dual carriageway andthe ADIF Iberian width railwayconnection direct to the ports ofBilbao and Pasajes.

Vitoria airport is a mere 20minutes away which makes the

location ideal for companies thatneed to complement road andrail transport with an air link.
