The 9th National Congress of Tanker Transport Entrepreneurs concluded with a remarkable success on Wednesday 18 October, exceeding expectations with the participation of more than 400 attendees. This event, the result of the collaboration between the Spanish Association of Tank Transport (CETM Cisternas) and the magazine Transporte Profesional, brought together different experts from the sector for two days full of high-calibre conferences and an extensive exhibition of tank transport vehicles and companies offering services, equipment and components related to these vehicles.<\/p>\n
At the closing ceremony, Alberto Ramirez, president of CETM Cisternas, reflected on the challenges the sector has faced over the past year, such as the shortage of drivers and rising fuel prices. He emphasised the importance of strengthening relations with shippers and stressed the need to recognise the value of tank transport activity.<\/p>\n
Likewise, Alberto Ram\u00edrez took advantage of the presence of Jaime Moreno, Director General of Land Transport, to request the Government’s backing on issues such as the adaptation to 44 tonnes, arguing that it is essential to establish a mandatory clause to adjust transport contracts in line with the associated cost increases. <\/p>\n
The CETM also presented the results of a survey which revealed that only 45% of the current tanker fleet could adjust to the weight increase, which prompted the request for support for fleet renewal and modifications to the requirements for the Renove Plan.<\/p>\n
In addition, the congress addressed key issues, such as the improvement of the Transport Chain Act, the extension of the route network for dangerous goods, the implementation of incentives to make the profession more attractive, among others.<\/p>\n
Finally, emphasis was placed on the transition towards the decarbonisation of transport to achieve greater environmental sustainability, and on adapting regulation to the changing demands of the sector.<\/p>\n
Jaime Moreno assured that the Ministry of Transport will continue to support road transport and guaranteed that no one will be left behind on the road to sustainability. Finally, he highlighted the joint initiatives of MITMA and the CNTC to attract talent through the Reconduce Plan.<\/p>\n

Este proceso a su vez es esencial para la econom\u00eda del pa\u00eds, ya que asegura el abastecimiento de las empresas y su capacidad para generar empleo e ingresos.\u00a0 <\/span>A pesar de su importancia, esta profesi\u00f3n parece estar en peligro de extinci\u00f3n y esta situaci\u00f3n no parece generar suficiente alarma entre las autoridades pertinentes.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00bfSab\u00edas que s\u00f3lo el 6% de los conductores que trabajan en el sector europeo del transporte de mercanc\u00edas por carretera son j\u00f3venes?<\/b>\r\n\r\nEsta cifra resulta muy alarmante <\/span>y es importante que se tomen medidas inmediatas para evitar que la situaci\u00f3n empeore a\u00fan m\u00e1s.<\/span>\r\n\r\nEn Espa\u00f1a se presenta una situaci\u00f3n similar, el 70% de los transportistas tienen m\u00e1s de 50 a\u00f1os. La brecha existente entre los conductores que se jubilan y los transportistas nuevos que se incorporan en esta profesi\u00f3n sigue aumentando y se espera que esta situaci\u00f3n se triplique en toda Europa. Actualmente, se estima que se necesita contratar a medio mill\u00f3n de conductores, y se prev\u00e9 que la tasa de puestos vacantes para transportistas aumente hasta superar el 60% para el a\u00f1o 2026.<\/span>\r\n\r\nEl problema de la falta de conductores de camiones, que ahora se ha convertido en una emergencia, comienza a ser una preocupaci\u00f3n para los 27 pa\u00edses miembros de la Uni\u00f3n Europea, gracias a las organizaciones del sector que han llamado la atenci\u00f3n sobre ello. En respuesta, la Comisi\u00f3n Europea ha propuesto adelantar la edad m\u00ednima para obtener la licencia de conducir C para veh\u00edculos pesados a los 17 a\u00f1os, permitiendo que los j\u00f3venes conduzcan bajo supervisi\u00f3n hasta los 18 a\u00f1os. Aunque esta medida podr\u00eda ayudar en la actual crisis de falta de conductores, no ser\u00e1 suficiente para solucionar el problema por s\u00ed solo. Adem\u00e1s, en muchos pa\u00edses de la UE se requiere tener m\u00e1s de 21 a\u00f1os para conducir un cami\u00f3n, y en algunos casos incluso m\u00e1s de 24 a\u00f1os.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n\u00bfCu\u00e1l es la titulaci\u00f3n requerida para convertirse en conductor o conductora de un tr\u00e1iler?<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n
