Algeciras Port Community COMPORT

Autoridad Portuaria Bahía de Algeciras - Port of Algeciras climbed to 5th place in the EU’s container port rankings, as analyzed by Theo Notteboom on PortEconomics.eu. With a solid +0.9% increase in container throughput, #Algeciras shows steady growth and joins Europe’s top five ports. This progress mirrors the recovery of Spanish ports, fueled by route diversions and transshipment growth linked to the Red Sea crisis. While Rotterdam remains the leader, ports like Algeciras in the Western Mediterranean gain ground thanks to strategic locations and adaptability. In contrast, Eastern Mediterranean ports face declines, highlighting the Strait of Gibraltar's resilience in a shifting maritime landscape. More details 👉 https://lnkd.in/dbs-XxzN

#COMPORT: A Key Presence at Fruit Attraction 2024 🍍🍊🍌🥑🚢 Autoridad Portuaria Bahía de Algeciras - Port of Algeciras, along with the member companies of the Algeciras Port Community COMPORT, made a remarkable impact at Fruit Attraction 2024 in Madrid this week. This event continues to be a key meeting point for our #members with shipping lines and clients, reinforcing #Algeciras' position as a leader in maritime logistics for perishable goods. This year’s event had record participation, with over 30 Algeciras-based companies presenting top solutions for efficiently moving perishable goods to market. One of the highlights of our participation was the launch of the new #BorderControlPost (BCP) system 🛂, introduced as a pilot project in Algeciras on October 1st 2024. This new system simplifies #borderinspections by unifying processes that were previously handled separately by different Ministries. This improvement, the result of years of collaboration with key Ministries and the involvement of many port community members, will enhance the efficiency of #veterinary and #phytosanitary checks, making the trade of perishable goods smoother. With a strong presence at Pavilion 4 within Puertos del Estado stand, our delegation had a busy and successful week🌍, reinforcing our role as a key player in #refrigerated cargo logistics. The Port of Algeciras handles over 750,000 tons of refrigerated containerized cargo annually. Its #terminals have over 5,500 reefer connections monitored 24/7 and advanced #warehouses that can store up to 30,000 pallets at controlled temperatures between -22°C and +15°C. New specialized facilities for handling perishable goods will soon be added to further enhance its capabilities. Together, we continue to lead the way in sustainable and efficient logistics for perishable goods! 🚛⚓❄️ Agencia Paublete S.L - Algetransit - Americold Logistics, LLC. - Bernardina Rey Moya - Comercio Exterior Souto S.L. - ecs360logistics - FRS Ferry -GDAR - Gonzalez Gaggero SL / Lemmas / Logistika 360 / Macpherson Marine Surveyors / Marítima del Estrecho Aduanas / Marterra Transitaria / Mertramar / NIEVES OPERADOR LOGISTICO / PARTIDA - Logistics / SAM Algeciras / TIBA / totallogistic / TRAMARCO / Transbull Cádiz, S.l. / Transcoma Global Logistics / TRANSITO 2000 / TTI ALGECIRAS / TRANSSUR, LOGISTIC TRANSITARIOS INTERNACIONALES SL / UCC
