With this new extension, Progeco increases the space on which it operates in the port of Bilbao to 105,000 m² distributed among the areas ZAD-1, ZAD-2, ZAD-3, AZ-1 and A-2.

Fully committed with the environment

ISO 14001 is an international standard that certifies that the company has adopted a series of measures aimed at reducing the impact of its activity on the environment and that it complies with regulations/legislation existing in environmental matters.

Comprometidos con el medio ambiente

In 2021 and in line with this commitment, Progeco has launched a project whose main objective is the decarbonisation of its activity (reduction of the carbon footprint that its activity generates on the planet), certifying it by obtaining the AGREED seal issued by the European CO2 Foundation (ECO2F).

There are two levels of certification:

  • CAGREED 2030 The AGREED 2030 level certifies that the entities have carried out the measurements and implemented the CO2 reduction measures established by the European Union for the year 2030.
  • CO2 NEUTRAL The CO2 NEUTRAL level, certifies that the entities have completed all the steps in measurement, reduction and compensation of all their CO2 emissions.

Progeco has carried out an audit to first quantify the carbon footprint generated by its activity and then it has adopted a series of measures that will allow it to obtain said certification. These measures are added to those already adopted by the company in 2020, among which the following stand out:

  • CONSUMPTION CONTROL: Installation of energy consumption monitoring systems.
  • GENERATION OF CLEAN ENERGIES: Installation of a clean energy generation system (photovoltaic) for self-consumption.
  • DECARBONIZATION: Launch of a project to calculate, reduce and/or offset the carbon footprint and obtain the AGREED certification from the European CO2 Foundation.
  • LED LIGHTING: Transition to LED and smart lighting that will end in 2021.
  • MACHINERY: Replacement of the oldest and most polluting machinery with machinery with emission reduction systems (EURO6).
  • FLEET REPLACEMENT: Plan to replace the oldest and most polluting truck fleet with a fleet with emission reduction systems (EURO6).

Contribution of the clean energy generation system in the period 05/2020 - 05/2021:

Enviromental Benefits

  • 60.59 tons Standard coal saved
  • 151.02 tons CO2 avoided

Progeco Bilbao sets in motion its new container depot in the Area of Storage and Distribution No. 3.

On April 1, Progeco set in motion the new depot in the Area of Storage and Distribution No. 3 as part of its 56,000-m2 concession.

Within Progeco’s strategic plan, one of its main decisions is to concentrate all of its activity in said concession, in such a way that it can better manage resources.

The main new development is the replacement of traditional transverse reach stackers for longitudinal ones, which is an innovative system. For this purpose, Progeco has developed a new computer management system of its own that will enable it to adapt the use of this type of machinery.

Progeco Bilbao is the only depot that can operate with 6 heights with this type of machinery, which significantly optimise space and considerably reduce the removal of containers. In Progeco Bilbao's case there is an added complexity: most of the equipment used is larger in size than normal (20' and 40' hc/pw and 45' hw reefer), for which tailor-made machinery has been manufactured.

New Documentation online service for customers

Progeco Bilbao launched on 1/05/2017 a new online service for its customers that will enable them to monitor in real time their loads in Progeco. Its customers will be able to check the following information:

  • Arrival and departure times of lorries
  • Status of different jobs
  • Composition of packing lists, etc.

Any merchandise received at Progeco is identified by means of a bar code, and customers are able to check the real status of their loads (in terms of bundles).

 Once all the operations have been completed, all the related information is made available (photographs,delivery notes, etc.).
