Valenciaport has been selected by the MEDports association as a reference centre in the maritime transport sector for the development of digitalisation, training, and cooperation plans.

MEDports, an organisation made up of 25 Mediterranean port authorities that account for 70% of the area’s maritime traffic, has just held a general assembly in which its reorganisation was approved and in which Manuel Rodríguez, head of International Relations and European Policies, was appointed president of the Cooperation & Partnership Committee.

Global trade flows
