Port of Barcelona exceeds pre-pandemic levels for total traffic

The Port of Barcelona recorded a record 1.8m teu in the first half of 2022 as total traffic grew 11% year-on-year reaching a record-breaking 36.3m tonnes.

Total volume growth was possible because, with the exception of vehicles, all major traffic closed the six-month period in positive territory.

Damià Calvet, president of the Port of Barcelona, said: “This good news indicates that our hinterland companies are working well and are striving to recover pre-pandemic levels.”
