Valenciaport handles 2.8M TEUs in H1 2025

Between January and June, Valenciaport processed 2.8 million TEUs, marking a 3.84% increase compared to the same period last year. On a full year-on-year (YoY) basis, the port handled 5.58 million TEUs—an 8.33% rise over the previous twelve-month period. APV statistics highlight a notable shift in the balance between import/export and transhipment traffic, mirroring developments seen at other Spanish ports. Although transhipment volumes have risen by over 6% YoY, the past six months saw a 1.75% decline. Meanwhile, import/export traffic continues its upward trajectory, effectively offsetting the downturn in transhipment operations.

The Port Authority of Valencia (APV) wrapped up its 2024 financial year with impressive consolidated earnings of €28.99 million, marking a significant 25.37% increase from the previous year. Net turnover climbed to €150.73 million ($174.34 million), up 6.70% compared to €141.27 million ($163.4 million) in 2023. Operating efficiency also improved, with other operating expenses falling by 1.51%, totalling €51.23 million ($59.2 million).

These results underscore APV’s strong operational management and strategic resilience in the face of evolving global trade and port logistics dynamics. 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. Last month, Fundación Valenciaport concluded its role in the Digital Twin for Green Shipping (DT4GS) project.
