1st port in the East Med Area for container traffic. In the period 2010-2017 the traffic rose by 368% (thanks to Cosco investments).

The port is expected to increase its traffic thanks to the expansion of the Suez Canal. 1st port in the rank of South Med Area.

A perfect integration between port and free zone.

2nd port in Mediterranean Area for container traffic. Valencia is a mixed port (gateway and transhipment).
