Valenciaport started well in 2021


A good start for Valenciaport in January and February this year: The port handled 13,5 million t of goods and more than 917,000 teu, an increase of 5.89% and 3.53%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2020.

 

The increase in traffic contrasts with the number of ships which are becoming larger and larger. In fact, in the first two months of the year, 114 fewer ships docked than in the same period of the previous year, something that was already reflected in 2020 when 1,040 fewer ships arrived at the Port of Valencia than in 2019.

 

China reaffirmed its main position as trade partner in the first two months of the year with 1.2 million tof goods (+7.77%) and 108,000 containers (+7.15%).

 

With regard to teu traffic, the USA is in second place (+3.74%), followed by Turkey (+2.87%) and in fourth place is India with a growth of 56.2%.

 

By geographical areas, the main market is the Mediterranean-Black Sea with 3.9 million t of goods handled and a growth of 4.87%, followed by the Far East with 1.6 million t (+2.86%). (cd)
