SearchThe route spans more than 10,500 kilometres and connects Spain and Portugal with Gulf countries, Jordan and Egypt. KLN Iberia announces transit times of 15 to 25 days and capacity for non-stackable palletized cargo of up to 23 tonnes per truck.
KLN Iberia has launched a land corridor spanning more than 10,500 kilometres between the Iberian Peninsula and several Middle Eastern markets. The company announces transit times of between 15 and 25 days and presents the service as an alternative to sea and air connections for companies shipping goods to the region.
The network includes Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman—the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council—as well as Jordan and Egypt. The service is aimed at companies in Spain and Portugal that operate in these markets or are looking to expand their international transport options.
According to the specifications provided by KLN Iberia, the corridor can carry non-stackable palletized cargo weighing up to 23 tonnes per truck and also covers the transport of dangerous goods. These services are subject to the requirements applicable to each shipment and type of cargo.
The service is designed to coordinate operations from collection in the Iberian Peninsula through to delivery at the destination. Distribución Actualidad reports that the service includes customs and document management, as well as the coordination of permits and border and regulatory requirements related to shipments.
KLN Iberia will act as the link between Spain and Portugal and the group’s international network. Managing these formalities is part of the announced service, although specific requirements may vary depending on the destination and the characteristics of the cargo.
The company puts transit times at between 15 and 25 days and describes the corridor as an option between sea and air transport: with shorter transit times than certain sea freight alternatives and lower costs than air transport. These comparisons and transit times are based on information provided by the company; the available sources do not provide independently verified results or detailed conditions for each route.
With this connection, KLN Iberia is expanding land transport options for supply chains between the Iberian Peninsula and the Middle East. The company frames the launch as part of the search for more flexible routes and additional options to sea and air transport.
