Port Detail
Spanish container leader
Valencia surpassed Algeciras some years ago as Spain's largest container port by some measures. MSC operates a major terminal here, and CSP Iberian (COSCO Shipping Ports) operates a deep-water container facility.
Mediterranean rebunker
Vessels on Asia-Med rotations heading north of Gibraltar often re-bunker at Valencia rather than Algeciras for routing efficiency.
Med ECA active
From May 2025, 0.10% sulphur fuel mandatory inside the Med ECA. LSMGO demand has shifted accordingly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Valencia vs Algeciras for Asia-Europe routing?
Algeciras is the natural call for vessels not entering the Mediterranean (Strait transits). Valencia serves vessels with Spanish/Italian cargo or routing further into the Med.
What's the bunker supplier depth?
Solid Mediterranean supplier base. Spreads to Algeciras are typically modest, with routing preference being the main driver.
