The Port Authority of Valencia (APV) closed the 2025 financial year with strong growth in turnover, profits and container traffic, posting a 9 per cent increase in turnover, a 50 per cent rise in profits, and a new record high of 5.66 million TEU.
This was explained by the president of the APV, Mar Chao, at the first meeting of the Board of Directors in 2026.
The provisional results for 2025 show a 9 per cent increase in turnover, while profits rose by 50 per cent, in line with the management strategy pursued by Spain’s leading port in terms of container traffic in its ambitious investment plan to increase capacity and meet the competitive agility demanded by users and customers.
In terms of traffic data, the 2025 financial year closed with container traffic (TEU) reaching 5.66 million, representing an increase of 3.41 per cent compared to 2024 and a new record high for the end of the financial year.
“These figures are a clear sign of the commitment of container shipping companies to Valenciaport, although we must remain cautious given the complicated international context,” said Mar Chao.
Valenciaport closed the 2025 financial year with a net turnover of €164.3 million ($195.8 million), which is €13.60 million ($16.2 million) more than in 2024 and an increase of 9.02 per cent.
This growth was mainly driven by increased traffic and, consequently, by an improvement in the budget item relating to port fees, which rose from €126.9 million ($151.2 million) in 2024 to €139.9 million ($166.7 million) in 2025 (an increase of 10.27 per cent).
Pre-tax profits rose to €43.7 million ($52.1 million), representing an increase of 50.51 per cent compared to the figures for 2024, when this indicator stood at €29 million ($34.55 million).
Chao emphasised that these figures clearly reflect the “economic stability of Valenciaport” and represent an important stepping stone for continuing with the “ambitious investment plan set out in our Strategic Plan, which is key to strengthening the competitiveness and sustainability of the Valencian port system”.

Container traffic has reached a new record high this year. In this regard, imports of full containers stand out, with the figure exceeding one million TEU (20-foot containers, or 6.1 metres) for the first time in history, specifically 1.05 million.
50.73 per cent of these imports came from China, representing an increase of 19.62 per cent over the previous year, while the rest of the countries have increased their exports by 11.63 per cent.
Exports grew by 5.56 per cent to reach 919,570 TEU, with the US being the main destination for goods, increasing its traffic by 5.06 per cent compared to the previous year despite the strength of the euro and tariff policies. The US accounts for 14.66 per cent of full container exports in 2025.
