Maritime connectivity
Maritime connectivity allows greater participation in international trade and better access to markets
The PAV maintains connections with almost 1,000 ports in 168 different countries around the world.
In this sense, maritime connectivity allows greater participation in international trade and better access to markets and, therefore, Valenciaport is a strategic enclave for Spanish exporting companies.
