The volume of full containers carrying goods entering or leaving Spain via the docks of Valenciaport continues to rise, and this increase has helped offset the decline in transhipment containers - those that call at Valenciaport en route to other international destinations.
Looking at the first half of 2025 (January-June), the data confirms this evolution: transhipment volumes fell by 1.75%, while imports rose by 15.21% and exports surged by 4.82%.
June's performance strengthens this trend: despite a drop in transhipments, the growth in foreign trade was enough to keep total container volumes stable, with a slight year-on-year increase of 0.08%, reaching 487,833 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units).
Overall, during the first six months of the year, Valenciaport handled 2,833,919 containers, representing a 3.84% increase over the same period in 2024. On a year-on-year basis, with twelve full months considered, the port managed 5,580,598 TEUs - 8.33% more than the previous year.
As for Valenciaport's main trading partners, China remains the top country, with 386,562 TEUs moved so far this year, followed by the United States (195,534), Algeria (160,993), Turkey (127,292), and India (81,795).
