Expanding Spanish terminal invests in operating platform, digital twin

Total Terminal International (TTI) Algeciras, in southern Spain, is undergoing a major expansion of its container handling infrastructure and digital operating platform.

This semi-automated container terminal in the Port of Algeciras Bay is jointly owned by Hyundai Merchant Marine and a CMA CGM-affiliated investment company.

It is one of Europe’s leading transshipment hubs and a strategic gateway connecting Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas.

TTI Algeciras is in the middle of the B1 Expansion project that will increase current annual capacity of 1.6M TEUs to 2.1M TEUs in 2028.

As part of this investment, TTI Algeciras is installing a digital operating system and will use a digital twin to manage operations.

This integrated operational platform will manage vessel, yard, gate and equipment operations. The terminal operator expects it will improve operational visibility, optimise terminal workflows, and support safer, more efficient and reliable terminal operations.
