Detailed description (English): In December 2018, new logistical operations were implemented in the port of Almeria, which has allowed to reduce transport distances by road (approx. 560 km per route) compared with the previous situation, and minimising CO2 emissions associated with this transport. It is estimated that this initiative has led to a reduction of 5,600,000 km in transport, meaning 4,000 tons of CO2e per year have been avoided.
