PortCastelló Attends Logitrans 2026 to Strengthen Ties with Turkey

The Port Authority of Castellón is once again taking part in Logitrans 2026, the international transport and logistics fair held from November 11 to 13 in Istanbul, Turkey. PortCastelló's goal is to strengthen its trade relations with the Turkish market, consolidate existing shipping connections and explore new business opportunities.

The Castellón delegation is led by the Chairman of the Port Authority, Rubén Ibáñez, and its Director, Manuel García, together with PortCastelló's Commercial Director, Adolfo Noguero. During the fair they have drawn up a packed schedule of meetings with shipping lines, logistics operators and industry representatives to get a first-hand view of market needs and identify new business opportunities, as part of the port's internationalization strategy and its commitment to strengthening trade links with Turkey, a strategic market given its position between Europe and Asia.

The Port Authority is seeking to build on and strengthen the relationships it already has with Turkish shipping lines such as Arkas and Akkon, two leading operators the port works with and with which it aims to continue deepening ties in order to boost maritime connectivity and identify opportunities that translate into new connections and traffic for the Port of Castellón. In addition, the Castellón representatives scheduled networking contacts with other companies in the sector to expand their network of trade relationships and diversify markets.

Another aim of taking part in Logitrans is to promote PortCastelló's infrastructure and logistics capabilities to leading players in the Turkish market, showcasing the port's facilities, operational capacity and potential to establish itself as a hub for the exchange of goods between the two markets. Logitrans, held annually since 2007, is an international platform for exchange and business contacts in transport, logistics and supply chains between Europe, Asia and the Mediterranean, bringing together companies involved in cargo movement, short-sea shipping services and Ro-Ro operations, with particular focus on flows toward North Africa and Europe.
