There are no longer double-digit falls in the movement of containers – a speciality of the Port of Valencia – but economic uncertainty continues to cut traffic volumes. This is reflected in the July data of the Statistical Bulletin of the Port Authority of Valencia (APV) which shows a drop of 6.91% in the number of containers managed by Valenciaport and a fall of 9.15% in terms of tonnage.
-
The incipient balance is also reflected in the entry of unloading containers (imports), which once again show positive data, growing by 3.95% this month (compared to the same month in 2022).
-
Train transport also continues on an upward trend and in the first seven months of the year a total of 153,581 TEUs entered and left the Valencian docks by rail: 2,066,098 tonnes were moved, 18.46% more than in the same month of 2022.

It is confirmed that 2023 is a good year for cruise tourism, which this month is once again growing in the Port of Valencia and has added 372,905 passengers so far this year. This month alone, 100,660 cruise passengers have disembarked at the Valencian docks, a figure which barely represents a tenth of the volume of passenger transits recorded by the Manises airport.

Ro-Ro traffic (short sea shipping services for roll-on/roll-off cargo) grew by 14.25% at Valenciaport docks in July, reaching 61,723 units.

Traffics with the Far East area grow again: the number of containers handled from January to July has increased by 2.97% reaching 455,473 TEU’s. China remains the main trading partner, followed by the USA, while for the second consecutive month the country that most increased its trade relations with the Valencian docks is Vietnam (+28.32% containers).
