"Renfe Mercancías has launched the first refrigerated container train
between Andalusia and Galicia, which will transport frozen fish along an
extremely long route.
On Wednesday (January 26, 2022), Renfe Mercancías launched the premiere
train with platform wagons on which refrigerated containers were placed.
It was the first such connection between the regions of Andalusia and
Galicia. The train will operate weekly between the ports of Algeciras
and Marín.
The train set off on its first 1,650-kilometer route on Wednesday.
According to the Spaniards, it is the longest connection where frozen
goods are transported.
At the beginning, it is supposed to be one connection per week, although
the company that commissioned the transport does not rule out increasing
the frequency of starting the train. Departure from Algeciras port is
scheduled for evening, and return from the Marin terminal is scheduled
for Saturday afternoon.
Before the official launch of the connection in December last year, test
drives were carried out and the customer's demand was identified.
Ultimately, it was decided that the train will consist of 21 cars with a
total length of 290 meters.
The train is equipped with two power generators - one of which is used
during transport, while the other is to be ready in case of failure of
the first one. All refrigerated containers are connected to the
aggregate by a cabling system that runs through the entire train.
According to Renfe, the share of rail freight in Spain is only 4%,
although the data clearly show that rail transport is the most
sustainable mode of transport. The Spaniards want to show that the
railway is suitable for transporting food products, even over long
distances."
