Service Information
The South East of Spain is one of Spain’s most important regions. The areas primary exports are foodstuffs and beverages, ceramic tiles, furniture, textiles and iron products to name but a few. One of our largest exports to Valencia is chemicals, in particular fertilisers which protect the crops grown locally and in the surrounding areas of Murcia. A substantial amount of the crops grown in this region end up on our supermarket shelves. Valencia is also an important seaport, being the largest in the Mediterranean, and the second largest of Spain in terms of total throughput.
For this reason we decided that, in order to increase our coverage of Spain, we needed to offer direct services to and from Valencia, which would enable us to provide better transit times to and from the surrounding key areas; Castellon, Alicante, and Murcia to name but a few.
Working closely with our partners in the region, Moldtrans Group, in January 2014 we commenced our twice-weekly export and import groupage service to and from Valencia.
