Valenciaport Breaks Throughput Record in 2025 as Profits Climb 50%
Spain’s largest container port handled 5.66m TEU amid strong China import growth and advancing €902m expansion plan
Valenciaport set a new container throughput record in 2025, handling 5.66m teu — up 3.41% year on year — while net turnover rose 9% to €164.3m (US$170m) and pre-tax profits jumped 50.5% to €43.7m (Valenciaport).
The figures, presented by APV president Mar Chao at the board’s first meeting of 2026, consolidate Valencia’s position as Spain’s largest container port and the fourth-busiest in the EU, having overtaken Piraeus in 2024. Traffic growth was driven by imports from China, which accounted for more than half of inbound container volumes and rose nearly 20% year on year. US-bound exports represented 14.7% of full-container outbound traffic.
Port fee revenue climbed 10.3% to €139.9m on higher volumes, providing the financial base for the authority’s €902.4m 2025–2029 investment programme. That plan includes the long-debated northern expansion at the Port of Valencia — a project Mar Chao framed as essential to maintaining competitive position.
