Thales, a global leader in rail solutions, has been awarded a prestigious contract to develop and implement cutting-edge security systems at the railway terminals within the Port of Huelva. The 24-month project aims to enhance the capacity of the port's infrastructure while introducing an innovative safety system that streamlines the operation of rail terminals.

The project encompasses the installation of a centralized Traffic Control Centre (CTC 1000) utilizing Thales technology, the automation of track gates for trains accessing the Autoridad Portuaria de Huelva (APH) infrastructure, and a Light and Sound Signals system for level crossings. The latter is crucial due to the unique track layout and the frequency of train movements within the port.

Integration with existing safety systems is a key objective, allowing seamless communication between the Adif CTC and the activities at the Majarabique freight loading and unloading terminal. A computer tool will link these systems with the Rail Traffic Safety Management System of the Port of Huelva.

Thales continues to solidify its position as a leader in rail solutions for port environments, drawing on its extensive experience with projects at the Port of Ferrol-San Cibrao, Puerto Seco de Pancorbo, the Port of Malaga, and the Port of Seville in Spain. Thales' involvement in the development of the smart rail operations system at the Port of Seville has improved efficiency, accessibility, and security across the multimodal logistics platform.

Fernando Ortega, Director of Transport Business in Spain, highlighted Thales' commitment to the digital transformation of transport infrastructure through substantial public-private investments. He emphasized the importance of these investments in driving economic recovery based on sustainability and efficiency in the freight transport sector.
