Yesterday the Consortium awarded 300 m2 to expand the heavy vehicle parking located next to the service station, of which this company is also in charge
This space will be dedicated to overnight truck parking.
The Free Trade Zone does not include within its powers the exploitation of this type of activity, whose facilities were included in the land acquired from Parques Logísticos del Sur
Yesterday, the Cádiz Free Trade Zone awarded the company Salmysur Promcon SL a 300 m2 space for lease on the land acquired last October from Parques Logísticos del Sur in Sector 1 of El Fresno Sur, in Los Barrios, and which is located next to the gas station and the truck parking lot that this same company has been in charge of since last April after being awarded the Consortium's Public Offer. This action has been co-financed with funds granted within the framework of the FEDER Operational Program of Andalusia 2007-2013.
This additional space will represent a necessary expansion of the services offered by Salmysur in the area and will be used mainly for overnight parking of heavy vehicles.
The Free Trade Zone launched the Public Offer for these services at the end of February, after the Executive Committee authorized it, since this type of activity does not correspond to the powers of the Consortium.
The gas station occupies an area of 3,359 m2 and serves that area not only with fuel supply but also has a small store, a rest area for truckers and an automatic vehicle and truck wash.
The truck parking lot, which had to be expanded due to the continuous traffic of this type of vehicle in the area, until now had a surface area of 8,910.98 m2 and is configured in a closed area with exterior surveillance, access control, automatic license plate reading, toilets, showers and a multimedia service center with information on ship departures, loading times, etc., all managed from the service station itself.
The surface area where these facilities are located has 37,000 m2, which was added at the time of its acquisition to the more than 100,000 m2 that it had already purchased the previous year from the Public Agency of Ports of Andalusia, with which Zona Franca has in El Fresno 140,000 m2 of industrial space for the implementation of companies with the customs and fiscal advantages of a free zone.
