Total cargo throughput also increased by 2.05% to 6.6 million metric tons, reflecting stronger activity across the facilities of Valencia, Sagunto and Gandia.

Exports of full containers rose by 5.68% during September, while imports increased by 11.68%. Meanwhile, full-container transshipment volumes declined by just 0.82% to 179,002 units, marking a more moderate decrease than the trend recorded over the first nine months.
