The Port of Tarragona has always been associated with the traffic in vehicles. In fact, historically it has been and continues to be the Port which exports cars destined for countries in the Mediterranean basin and the importing of vehicles from the Far East, mainly South Korea.

One of the many advantages offered by our Port infrastructure is its excellent accessibility by rail to all the facilities devoted to the automobile. This shows that more than 40% of vehicles in the port are operated by rail.

The quality of the facilities and services in Tarragona has led to ANFAC (Associació Nacional de Fabricants d'Automòbils i Camions) having designated the Port of Tarragona as the second best Spanish port in maritime-port logistics operation in the sectoral report it publishes annually.

Exporting and importing vehicles

At present we have three terminals that handle this type of traffic.

An import-oriented terminal, with facilities prepared for the pre-release of vehicles (PDI), protective mesh, workshops and extensive parking areas and both of these operate with the main scheduled lines for horizontal cargo devoted to the transport of vehicles.

  Dedicated railway facilities. Three lines of more than 500 m for the reception and delivery of vehicles from other parts of Spain to as far away as Germany and for the redistribution of imported vehicles to the rest of the Iberian Peninsula. Vehicle transportation is one of the fastest increasing sectors in rail transport, exceeding 500 convoys for the first time in 2023.

In terms of the makes, we could mention: HYUNDAI, KIA, SANGYONG, OPEL, VLKSWAGEN, AUDI and SKODA as the most significant.
