The port of Barcelona has amplified the intermodal offer and today a large part of the refrigerated products that are exported from the port area reach the docks by train. For example, the exclusive rail service for refrigerated goods Canal Frío which connects Zaragoza and Barcelona daily. Maritime connection has also been enhanced. New shipping lines have been launched which improve Barcelona's connections with different parts of the Mediterranean.
