Valenciaport has handled 2.8 million TEUs between January and June, reflecting a 3.84 per cent increase compared to the same period of the previous year.
On a year-on-year (YoY) basis, i.e. including the last twelve full months, Valenciaport managed 5.58 million TEUs, 8.33 per cent more than the previous year.
Regarding market trends, APV statistics reveal a shift in the balance between import/export traffic and transhipment, a trend also observed in other Spanish ports.
While transhipment traffic has grown by over 6 per cent YoY, there has been a 1.75 per cent decline in the last six months. Import/export traffic, by contrast, continues to grow steadily and offsets the decline in transshipments.
The Port Authority of Valencia (APV) has closed the 2024 financial year with consolidated results of €28.99 million, representing a 25.37 per cent increase over the previous year.
Net turnover reached €150.73 million ($174.34 million), compared to €141.27 million ($163.4 million) in 2023, an annual growth of 6.70 per cent. Meanwhile, other operating expenses decreased by 1.51 per cent, down to €51.23 million ($59.2 million).
Personnel expenses amounted to €29.88 million ($34.58 million), up 13.25 per cent from 2023. This rise is primarily due to an increase in the average workforce, which expanded from 467 to 488 employees, as well as to the effects of collective agreements, including reclassifications and the consolidation of productivity and competencies.
The APV Board of Directors was presented by Mar Chao, who emphasised that “the figures and approved accounts consolidate the APV’s economic stability and allow us to continue with its ambitious investment plan, essential to reinforce the competitiveness and sustainability of the Valencian port system”.
Last month, Fundación Valenciaport concluded its role in the Digital Twin for Green Shipping (DT4GS) project.
