# PTP Unveils New Refrigerated Terminal in Cádiz **Category:** Industry News | **Source:** Port Technology / Data Portuaria | **Published:** 2026-10-17 | **Updated:** 2026-10-27 **Tags:** Logistik News, Transport News, Fracht News, Speditions News, Supply Chain News, Zoll News, Frachtportal News, Seefracht, Digitalisierung, Zoll > PTP inaugurates a refrigerated terminal in Cádiz. The facility features 20,000 pallet positions and a total investment of approximately 35 million euros. --- PTP Group has unveiled and inaugurated a new terminal for chilled and frozen goods at the port of the Bay of Cádiz. The facility is located in La Cabezuela–Puerto Real. Port Technology reported on this on October 9th. According to the operator, the facility is part of a total investment of approximately 35 million euros. The terminal features 20,000 pallet positions across twelve cold storage and deep-freeze chambers. Additionally, there are customs warehouses and facilities for border inspections of plant products and meat products. The operator also cites 500 meters of quay facilities and capabilities for different vessel types and cargo types. These specifications describe the terminal's service offering. For freight forwarders in the food sector, this combination can be of interest. Unloading, inspection, and chilled storage can be organized at the same location. However, whether this works for specific cargo depends on temperature range, required inspections, and available slots. A new facility does not replace a booking confirmation. Before the first shipment, freight forwarders should therefore inquire about the complete process. Where will the cargo be taken over? What documentation does the inspection require? Who monitors temperature during handovers? And when can the follow-up transport actually depart? Especially with perishable goods, these points must align. The stated capacities should also be read correctly. Pallet positions represent storage capacity, not automatically available daily throughput. The total investment figure likewise provides no information about the price of individual handling operations. For a comparison, a concrete quotation is needed that includes handling, storage, inspections, and possible additional services. General suitability for pharmaceutical cargo is not documented in the available information. Those planning such shipments must separately verify appropriate licenses and procedures. For food products, this facility opens another option in the European port network. However, practical benefits only materialize when sea connection, inspection, refrigeration, and onward transport are organized as a continuous chain. --- Request temperature ranges, inspection schedules, and follow-up services together. Have the service startup dates for the required services confirmed. In short: The new terminal offers possibilities, but the specific cold chain must still be planned accordingly. --- The terminal is located in La Cabezuela–Puerto Real. The operator is PTP Group. 20,000 pallet positions are mentioned. The positions are distributed across twelve chambers. The total investment amounts to approximately 35 million euros. 500 meters of quay facilities are mentioned. The equipment includes controls for plant products and meat products. ## Related Entities ### Countries - [Spain](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/es) - [Argentina](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/land/ar) ### Seaports - [Cadiz (ES CAD)](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/seaports/cadiz-port-es-cad) ### Glossary - [storage capacity](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/storage-capacity) - [Freight forwarder](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/freight-forwarder) - [Customs warehouse](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/customs-warehouse) - [Add-on](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/add-on) - [Add-On Services](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/add-on-services) - [On-carriage](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/on-carriage) --- *Canonical URL: [https://www.freight-academy.com/en/news/ptp-stellt-neuen-kuehlterminal-in-cadiz-vor-20261010083458](https://www.freight-academy.com/en/news/ptp-stellt-neuen-kuehlterminal-in-cadiz-vor-20261010083458)* *Markdown mirror: [https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/news/en/ptp-stellt-neuen-kuehlterminal-in-cadiz-vor-20261010083458](https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/news/en/ptp-stellt-neuen-kuehlterminal-in-cadiz-vor-20261010083458)*
