Challenges for Spanish Companies in International Transport & How to Solve Them International transport is a vital aspect of Spain's economy, but it also comes with numerous challenges for companies in the logistics sector. Whether it’s navigating complex regulations, managing fluctuating costs, or handling the growing demands for sustainable solutions, Spanish companies face a range of hurdles when transporting goods across borders. Regulatory Barriers The European Union’s intricate regulatory frameworks are one of the biggest challenges. Each country has its own customs and tax regulations, despite the free movement of goods within the EU. Spanish companies must navigate VAT issues, as well as customs declarations when shipping outside the EU. Digital Customs Platforms—by using automated customs clearance platforms, companies can reduce errors, streamline documentation, and reduce delays at borders. Platforms like TransitNet or eCustoms can be beneficial for real-time tracking of customs statuses. Driver Shortages Spain, like the rest of Europe, is grappling with a severe shortage of truck drivers. With an aging workforce and fewer young people entering the profession, this issue has become an obstacle for logistics companies. Multimodal transport solutions, as Sea or Rail could help to mitigate part of the damanges caused by driver shortages. High Operational Costs Fuel prices, vehicle maintenance, and toll costs are all factors contributing to high operational costs for Spanish logistics companies. These costs can make international transport a costly affair, reducing profit margins. Fuel-Efficient Technology—investing in fuel-efficient vehicles and telematics solutions for route optimization can help companies reduce fuel consumption and streamline their operations. As commented before, multimodal transport solutions, can help offset high costs by using the most efficient mode of transport for each leg of the journey. Sustainability Requirements With growing pressure from governments and consumers alike to adopt sustainable practices, logistics companies are being forced to reassess their operations. The challenge lies in meeting these demands without compromising on service quality or increasing operational costs. Green Logistics Solutions—investing in green technologies such as electric or hybrid vehicles and using carbon-neutral shipping methods can help companies meet sustainability targets. Collaborating with shipping companies that offer green transport options is another effective way to reduce carbon footprints. By addressing these challenges with digital tools, collaborative partnerships, and innovative technologies, Spanish logistics companies can thrive in an increasingly competitive international market. The key is to adopt a proactive approach to problem-solving and embrace the latest innovations that can streamline processes, reduce costs, and meet the growing demands of sustainability.

Breaking Down Entry Barriers in Spain’s Multimodal Transport Sector: Spain’s multimodal transport sector presents several barriers, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which make up 95% of companies, many of them family-owned. These barriers slow growth and limit competitiveness. Big companies as shipping companies have seen themselves affected by this barries as well. Key Barriers: Language: Spain’s role as a logistics hub requires seamless cross-border communication, but language gaps delay operations and create inefficiencies. Driver Shortage: An aging workforce and challenging conditions contribute to fewer new drivers entering the profession, impacting road transport logistics. Regulatory Complexities: Navigating local, national, and EU regulations complicates compliance, especially for smaller enterprises with limited resources. Access to Finance: SMEs struggle to secure funding for fleet expansion, technology upgrades, or greener solutions, reducing their ability to compete. Technological Gaps: Many small companies still use traditional methods, lacking real-time tracking or automation, putting them at a disadvantage. Potential Solutions: Driver Recruitment and Training: Improve working conditions and offer training to attract new drivers and upskill existing ones. Technological Adoption: Invest in route optimization, real-time tracking, and automation, with government support for smaller companies. Language Training: Offering language programs can help SMEs better integrate into European supply chains. Financial Assistance: Improve access to financing for fleet upgrades and multimodal expansion. Collaborations with Larger Firms: Partnerships with bigger companies offer access to advanced technology and infrastructure. Addressing these barriers is key to the sector's success, enabling SMEs to stay competitive in the evolving logistics landscape. What other challenges do you think transport businesses face in Spain today? Let’s discuss!

LATAM Cargo will next month triple the number of flights it carries out to Brussels Airport to boost transport of perishables and pharmaceuticals. The Chile-headquartered airline has been operating to Brussels Airport with four flights a week since March 2023, but will up the frequency to 12 per week as of October 27. This will make Brussels the main European transport hub for LATAM Cargo. “The inbound flights will mainly ship perishable goods, such as flowers, from Ecuador to Europe. The aircraft then return towards Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Chile carrying pharmaceuticals, as well as other time-critical cargo and automotive parts, said Brussels Airport. LATAM Cargo will operate the flights using Boeing 767F aircraft, with a cargo capacity of around 60 tonnes. LATAM Cargo confirmed last month that it planned to add extra capacity to the Latin America-Europe trade lane. This followed the decision by Qatar Airways and Air France KLM Martinair to remove services from the market.

I huge part of what being a leader means is about helping your stars to find their own light , and in order to do that you need to trust your team, you have to learn How to delegate tasks, coach them to feel secure about their capabilities and their decisions, it is about acknowledging and working on your teams strenghts and áreas of opportunity not only because as leader you want to take your vacation , or holiday, it is because you care about their development . Trust your team! Coach them! Let them bright! 🫶🏻 #leadership #coaching #trust #delegation #teamwork

#SOLUTION (Free Download)... When massive #freight flows cross a specific territory, this geographical zone becomes a “magnet” for #CargoTheft. In this sense, an intensive process of #Nearshoring to #Mexico and the increasing integration of binational #US #Mexico #SupplyChains could create the conditions for a cargo theft problem as a growing source of #disruptions. Under this context, a binational team (Instituto Mexicano del Transporte + Texas A&M International University) developed an innovative solution (Infographic by FreightWaves).
