Training in maritime and intermodal transport at the Port of Barcelona

The SURCO courses go beyond standard rail-intermodality training and delve into comprehensive port to rail operations. Our students are offered the opportunity to study intermodal operations within the port of Barcelona as well as in some partner ports around Spain during special SURCO course editions. The additional lectures offered ensure that a complete knowledge of these is acquired by the students in an eminently practical environment.

Port to Rail Operations

In this course participants gain a complete view of port-rail operations and terminals in ports connected by the railway. Highly experienced professionals explain first-hand how operations are organised, managed and developed in such logistics infrastructures.
