Valencia reaches 600,000 vehicles in last year, leading Spanish ports in vehicle traffic

Port Authority of Valencia (PAV) saw 600,000 vehicles in 2022, translating to an important 22% growth compared with the figures in the previous year.

That means that Valenciaport handled one out of every five new unregistered vehicles in the Spanish port system, being at the head of this type of traffic among the ports of interest in Spain, ahead of Barcelona, Vigo and Santander.

Barcelona operated a total of 588,572 vehicles in 2022 (+18.3%), Vigo handled 474,791 (-5.6%) and Santander handled 322,865 (+16.2%). Next in position are the Pasaia enclosures with 239,955 (+14.6%) and Tarragona with 172,164 (+27%).

“Italy, Belgium and Turkey are the main countries in this type of traffic, but the capillarity of Valenciaport also allows one vehicle to reach Ghana, two to India and 398 to Australia, according to a statement by the Spanish port,” said PAV in a statement.

Valencia port reported that the positive trend continues in 2023, as 99,987 cars were moved in the first two months of the year, representing a 5% increase compared with 2022 performance.
