Valenciaport has experienced a growth of nearly 10% in the first two months of 2024, compared with the same period in 2023, reaching 784,095 TEUs.

This increase encompassed both full containers, up by 7.17%, and empty containers, which saw a substantial rise of 20.31%. In terms of weight, the volume of goods passing through Valencian terminals during January and February reached 12,208,814 million tonnes, reflecting a solid growth of 6.33%.

Moreover, rail transport also saw an uptick, with the number of containers transported by box trains increasing by 2.71%. Additionally, roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) traffic saw an increase of 2.64%, while Intermodal Transport Units (ITUs), such as container truck platforms, grew by 11.68% to 79,334 units.

Valenciaport’s cargo traffic with the Far East region is experiencing an increase, with the number of TEUs handled in the last two months reaching 124,834, marking a significant increase of 19.02% compared to the same period in 2023. Furthermore, China remains the Spanish port’s primary trading partner, with 93,636 containers, reflecting a substantial growth of 30%.
