The Port Authority of Castellón is participating in the international Logitrans fair, where it is holding a series of working meetings with maritime operators and terminal managers from Turkey. The institutional mission seeks to consolidate the ten direct maritime routes operating between Castellón and the main Turkish ports, including Ambarli, Gemlik, Nemrut Bay, Mersin, Aliaga, and Izmit, as well as to expand maritime connections with that area.
It is worth noting that Turkey is a key market for the port of Castellón, and in fact, it has moved 2 million tons of goods with this country so far this year. This volume represents a growth of 20.31% compared to the same period of the previous year.
The port delegation, headed by the president of the Port Authority, Rubén Ibáñez, along with the port director, Manuel J. García, and the commercial director, Adolfo Noguero, is showcasing during the sessions the operational capacity of the Castellón facilities and its multipurpose terminals: Noatum Terminal Castellón, APM Terminals, and Portsur Castellón.
At the fair, PortCastelló is presenting the application of bonuses of up to 40% on cargo fees for container transport, along with operational conditions aimed at reducing delays in calls.
Likewise, the Port Authority is explaining the status of infrastructure projects under development in the enclosure. These include the construction of the new southern rail access, the intermodal station integrated into the international-gauge Mediterranean Corridor, and expansion works in the southern dock for specialized traffic and the energy industry.
The president of the Port Authority of Castellón, Rubén Ibáñez, stated that "Turkey is a first-rate partner for productive sectors such as ceramics and chemicals, as well as a key point in Mediterranean routes." He added that the objective of these meetings at Logitrans is to present to operators the port's operational capabilities, agility in call times, and the future direct rail connection with European markets.
