Las Casas De Alcanar Port is the seaport of Las casas de alcanar, in the city of Las casas de alcanarin Spain. Overseas routes include Europe, Port code is ESCDK.
Port Overview
Las Casas de Alcanar, identified by UN/LOCODE ESCDK, is a small coastal maritime facility in Las Casas de Alcanar, Spain, on the Mediterranean coast of southern Catalonia. The supplied port record places it at approximately 40.5500000 N, -0.5333333 W. Its logistics profile should be treated as local and regional rather than as a mainline container gateway. Our platform recommends using this location primarily as a destination or origin reference for nearby maritime, fishing, coastal, project, or specialty cargo after confirming the actual receiving facility, cargo-handling capability, and nominated carrier. Containerized export programs may require routing through a larger nearby commercial port, with the final inland leg arranged separately.

Key Highlights
Facilities & Services
- Maritime access: Our platform arranges service verification against the nominated local facility rather than assuming container-terminal infrastructure from the UN/LOCODE.
- Cargo handling: General, fishing-related, coastal and specialty cargo may require facility-specific equipment, labour and operating windows; these must be confirmed before quotation.
- Container operations: The supplied record shows zero FCL and LCL service entries. Standard container cargo should therefore be planned through a confirmed alternative gateway unless a carrier provides written acceptance for ESCDK.
- Storage and staging: Temporary storage, reefer connection, empty-container return and out-of-gauge staging should never be presumed; our team checks availability and charges case by case.
- Road collection and delivery: Local trucking can be arranged after verifying vehicle dimensions, access restrictions, loading responsibility, delivery appointment and any municipal limitations.
Routes & Transit Times
- Our platform does not present ESCDK as having a guaranteed direct liner route, fixed sailing schedule or published transit time. Carrier and facility acceptance must be checked for each shipment.
- For conventional or local maritime cargo, routing may involve a regional Mediterranean connection or a feeder/coastal arrangement, depending on the cargo type and the nominated operator.
- For FCL and LCL shipments, our service team normally compares a nearby commercial container gateway with the final road leg to Las Casas de Alcanar.
- Total transit time is affected by transshipment availability, port cut-offs, customs status, equipment release, local appointments, road restrictions and weather; all quoted timing remains subject to operational confirmation.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- Immediate hinterland: Las Casas de Alcanar and the wider coastal area of southern Catalonia are the most relevant local collection and delivery zone for this port reference.
- Potential cargo profile: Local maritime supplies, fishing-related goods, general cargo, maintenance materials and other coastal or specialty shipments may be relevant, subject to facility acceptance.
- Regional commercial cargo: Standard export commodities from the broader Catalan and Mediterranean hinterland are generally better assessed through an established container gateway and then moved by road.
- Reefer and sensitive cargo: Temperature-controlled, perishable or time-critical shipments require prior confirmation of power, inspection, plug-in, loading sequence and emergency arrangements.
Operations & Compliance
- Cut-offs and receiving: Do not use a generic liner cut-off for ESCDK. Our team confirms the actual cargo-receiving deadline, booking reference, loading window and documentation cut-off with the facility or carrier.
- Dangerous goods: IMO class, UN number, packing group, flash point, technical name, packaging certificate and emergency contact details must be submitted before acceptance. Written approval is required before truck dispatch.
- Customs documentation: Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document instructions, origin information and export or import declarations must match the actual cargo, consignee and routing. Customs release does not replace terminal acceptance.
- Inspection and inland delivery: Customs or other regulatory inspection may change the delivery sequence and create storage or waiting exposure. Our service team coordinates appointments and checks whether the vehicle can access the nominated loading point.
Shipping Tips
- Send our platform the exact cargo description, dimensions, gross weight, package count, HS code, dangerous-goods status and requested delivery address before requesting a rate.
- For containerized cargo, ask us to compare ESCDK with a confirmed commercial gateway, including drayage, transshipment, empty-equipment positioning and customs implications.
- Use seaworthy packaging and clear package marks; for oversized or heavy pieces, provide lifting points, centre of gravity, drawings and loading photographs before equipment is assigned.
- Keep a contingency plan for weather, facility closure, inspection or equipment unavailability. The final route, cut-off and ETA should be accepted only after written operational confirmation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can ESCDK be used for a normal FCL export booking?
It should not be assumed. The supplied record shows zero FCL service entries. Our platform first checks carrier acceptance and, where necessary, offers a nearby commercial container gateway with road delivery to the final destination.
Does the port code prove that a container terminal is available?
No. A UN/LOCODE identifies a transport location; it does not confirm cranes, empty equipment, reefer plugs, customs facilities or a scheduled liner service. Our team verifies each operational requirement separately.
How should dangerous goods be booked?
Provide the complete IMO declaration data before dispatch. Our team obtains facility or carrier approval and confirms packaging, labels, segregation, vehicle requirements and the applicable receiving window.
Can our truck deliver directly to Las Casas de Alcanar?
Possibly, but access, vehicle size, appointment, unloading equipment and local operating conditions must be confirmed against the exact delivery point. A port code alone is not a delivery instruction.
What information is needed for a reliable quotation?
We require origin, final destination, cargo description, dimensions, weight, packaging, Incoterms, customs status, preferred date and any temperature-controlled, oversized or dangerous-goods requirements.
Data Sources & Provenance
The UN/LOCODE, port name, country, city, coordinates and service indicators in this module are taken from the supplied ESCDK port dataset. Operational statements are presented as planning guidance and are deliberately limited where a facility-specific capability, schedule, tariff or regulatory detail has not been verified.
For official Spanish port, maritime administration and customs cross-checks, our service team uses the relevant authorities and verifies the current nominated facility before booking. Reference domains include puertos.es and sede.agenciatributaria.gob.es.
Carrier schedules, terminal acceptance, customs procedures, dangerous-goods rules, access conditions and cut-offs are time-sensitive. Our platform confirms these items against the shipment and actual operating party before issuing final instructions.
