Connectivity, quality, safety and infrastructures. These are the strengths of the Port Authority of Valencia (PAV) in the international fruit and vegetable fair ‘Fruit Attraction’, which is being held at the IFEMA exhibition centre in Madrid from 8 to 10 October.
Located in the stand of Puertos del Estado, Valenciaport has attended this event with a sales team led by Cristina Rodríguez, head of containers. Thus, during these three days, the PAV is highlighting its excellent international connectivity through 92 regular services with the whole world and strengthening its commercial relations with customers, suppliers and professionals in temperature-controlled transport and logistics.
Traffic of perishable products
This is possible thanks to the reefer connections of its terminals: CSP Iberian (Cosco) has 1,500 connections
In this sense, the PAV is strengthening – with better facilities, differential services and its commitment to multimodality – the logistics aimed at the traffic of perishable products, an essential sector for many Spanish industries that channel the fruit and vegetables they export to the five continents through the Valencian docks.
Every year, an average of around three million tonnes of fish, meat products and fruit and vegetables from all over Spain (fruit, citrus fruits, vegetables, tubers, etc.) enter and leave the Valencian docks. This is possible thanks to the reefer connections of its terminals: CSP Iberian (Cosco) has 1,500 connections, APM (Maersk) has 750 and MSC Terminal another 1,000.
Infrastructures provided by the terminal companies, to which must be added the warehouse of the Agro Merchants Group company – which has 16,000 square metres destined exclusively for the logistics of refrigerated products –, the 17,000 square metre Border Control Post (PCF) which, through the Guarantee Mark, guarantees that any container taken to these facilities must be checked in less than 45 minutes and the Border Control Post of the Port of Sagunto; all of these facilities have growing demands.
