In the port sector, the efficient management of goods depends to a large extent on having adequate infrastructures. Among them, storage parks represent a fundamental component to ensure the constant flow of goods, avoid saturation and reduce operating costs. At Espirales Chía, we understand the importance of these spaces and we offer solutions adapted to the needs of the sector, promoting more agile and organised logistics.
What is a storage park?
A storage park is an area destined for the temporary or prolonged storage of goods, usually within or in the vicinity of port enclosures. These spaces allow cargo to be stored before or after shipment, facilitating the organisation and traceability of products.
In the port context, their role becomes crucial: ports receive large volumes of cargo on a daily basis, and not all of it can be transferred immediately. Thus, having a secure and well-managed place to store goods is indispensable to keep the logistics chain running.
Types of warehousing parks
Warehousing parks can be classified according to the type of goods they house and the level of specialisation required:
- Container parks: adapted to receive and sort standard containers, with specialised machinery.
- General cargo areas: more versatile spaces that can house a variety of goods, from raw materials to manufactured products.
- Refrigerated areas or areas with special conditions: designed for products that require temperature control, humidity or other environmental conditions.
Each of these spaces responds to specific logistical needs. At Espirales Chía, we work to adapt these infrastructures to the technical and operational requirements of each client.
Logistics benefits of warehousing parks
Well-planned warehousing parks bring multiple benefits for port and logistics management:
- Optimisation of port space: it frees up operational areas, avoiding congestion.
- Reduction of waiting times: cargo can be stored while other procedures are being carried out, speeding up logistics processes.
- Increased security: these spaces are designed with surveillance and control systems that reduce the risk of loss or damage.
- Operational flexibility: by having additional space, it is possible to adjust management according to demand or unforeseen situations.
These benefits translate into a more efficient operation, fewer delays and better use of resources, both human and material.
The role of Espirales Chía in the development of storage parks
At Espirales Chía, we specialise in solutions for the port sector, and one of our main areas of activity is the design and development of storage parks. Our proposal combines technical knowledge with a clear focus on the real needs of logistics operators, port authorities and companies in the sector.
We offer from the initial planning of the space to its execution and start-up, ensuring that each park meets efficiency, safety and sustainability criteria. We are also committed to innovation, incorporating technologies that facilitate the traceability of goods and improve operational management.
Use cases and real applications
Warehouse parks are used by a wide variety of actors within the port ecosystem:
- Import/export companies, who need to temporarily store goods while awaiting transport.
- Shipping companies, which require space to reorder cargo or manage transits.
- Logistics operators, who use these spaces as intermediate nodes within wider supply chains.
In all these cases, a well-designed storage park provides strategic value, allowing you to meet deadlines, optimise routes and maintain control of the goods.
