Characteristics of the new terminal

The new container terminal of the Port of València will be an infrastructure that will combine technology, eco-efficiency, intermodality and sustainability that will enable it to offer an optimum service to the Spanish economy and maintain the inter-oceanic character that guarantees connectivity with the markets of the five continents. Furthermore, it will be an infrastructure that will generate employment and boost the economic activity of its hinterland and will reinforce the status of the Spanish ports as a European benchmark in the Mediterranean arc.

This infrastructure, which will be located in the sheltered waters of the northern extension whose works were completed in 2012, will have a surface area of some 137 hectares and 1,970 metres of berthing line, with a capacity to hold five million containers.  The terminal will have state-of-the-art design, technology and equipment, with a fully electrified facility, enabling it to handle the large container ships in service, with high performance in both maritime and land operations.
