The works have an execution close to 40 percent and will favor the establishment of companies in areas further away from Escombreras. The president of the Cartagena Port Authority, Yolanda Muñoz, has visited the progress of the extension works of the existing pipe rack in the El Fangal area, taking advantage of the abandoned route of the old train tracks that gave access to the Príncipe Felipe dock. With an investment of 1.8 million euros, Muñoz recalled that "these works are going to improve the facilities for loading and unloading liquid bulk that account for 75 percent of the business volume of the Port of Cartagena" and recalled that "until the month of October, the traffic in liquid bulk amounts to 21.5 million tons". "We have taken advantage of the abandoned route of the old train tracks that gave access to the Príncipe Felipe dock and we have eliminated the unevenness to create a uniform platform that will give continuity to the existing infrastructures to give a better service to the companies installed in the area and allow the establishment of companies in areas further away from the Escombreras dock ", said the president who insisted on the importance of action that" avoids transporting dangerous goods by road, improving the competitiveness of companies and reducing CO2 emissions " . The rack is 4.70 m wide, plus a 2-meter-wide sidewalk and a 5.30-m service road.

It will also have two overpasses that will serve to give access to the neighboring warehouses, as well as give continuity to the service road.

The entire route will be equipped with a lighting network on the sidewalk with LED-type luminaires. The works have an execution close to 40 percent and have a term of execution of 9 months.

Once completed, the entire area of ??action will be fenced with a reinforced concrete wall that in turn will serve to contain the lands of the created platform. The project is included in the Immediate Action Plan for Economic Reactivation endowed with 200 million euros, contemplates 50 actions comprised in 12 blocks, lines of work divided into 5 blocks, in which 44 million euros in investments have already been launched .
