Intersagunto Terminals closes 2022 with a zero occupational accident rate and 4% more activity
Intersagunto Terminals (IST), the Alonso Group's multi-purpose terminal located in the port of Sagunto, managed to reduce the accident rate to zero lost-time accidents last year. Even taking into account the nature of the activity, with the handling of all types of goods through large machinery, the IST facilities have achieved this positive result.
This labour milestone, a target set by the terminal at the beginning of 2022, had not been achieved until now. It has been achieved thanks to the development of the ISO 45001 management system -safety and health at work- implemented by Intersagunto Terminals in recent years as well as the continuous training processes in which workers participate. A commitment to good practices in terms of occupational risk reduction and prevention culture that has been rewarded.
Notable increase in activity
Another very positive aspect for Intersagunto Terminals (IST) is that it has managed to increase the tonnes handled last year by up to 4%. An outstanding result despite the economic situation and the geopolitical tensions that occurred during 2022. An example of the versatility, efficiency and resilience of one of the most polyvalent and modern terminals in the whole of the Spanish Mediterranean arc.
Intersagunto Terminals currently has direct connections with the main ports of the country and a total area of 116,677 square metres, with a manoeuvring area of 19,100 square metres. It has 180 reefer connections and a berthing line of 643 metres. Its handling capacity reaches 190,000 TEUs per year.
A firm commitment to the sustainability of freight transport
In addition, IST has recently been certified by the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge for the 8% reduction in the average intensity of greenhouse gas emissions in the three-year period 2019-2021 compared to the three-year period 2018-2020. This achievement is evidence of the port terminal's commitment to the sustainability of freight transport, having boosted the use of electric terminal equipment with more efficient technologies.
