The Port Authority of Seville (APS) participated in the commercial meeting organized by Andalucía Trade, which included representatives from port authorities, logistics operators, and representatives from the maritime-port sector from Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Italy, and the United Kingdom, with the aim of showcasing the infrastructure, services, and business opportunities offered by the Andalusian port system.
With this action, the Port of Seville and Andalucía Trade seek to strengthen relationships with the main European operators and port authorities, fostering the identification of new opportunities for collaboration, investment, and the development of maritime traffic.
The mission began with a visit to the Port of Seville, Spain's only inland maritime port, followed by a meeting with the Port Community. The director of the Port Authority of Seville, Ángel Pulido, accompanied the delegation on a tour of the Batán Logistics District, where the container terminal, the railway terminal, and the Logistics Activities Zone (ZAL) converge; as well as the North Dock, specialized in the movement of steel products and agri-food. Likewise, the group visited the industrial area of the Shipyard Industrial Park, where large metal structures for the offshore wind sector are manufactured, including tower sections destined for offshore wind farms.
Subsequently, the delegation moved to the lock, where they learned about various innovation and digitalization projects aimed at optimizing navigation along the Guadalquivir Eurovía and improving railway traffic management. The visit concluded with a networking session with representatives of the main companies that make up the Port Community of Seville.
The initiative allowed the international delegation to learn firsthand about the capabilities of the main port enclaves of Andalusia through technical visits to the Port of Seville and, subsequently, to those of Huelva, Cádiz, and Algeciras, considered strategic hubs for international trade, logistics, and global supply chains.
The Port of Seville is one of the main logistics hubs in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. Located in one of the country's largest metropolitan areas, with over 1.5 million inhabitants, it boasts outstanding operational capacity thanks to its multimodal nature, its maritime, rail, and land connections, and an area exceeding 850 hectares dedicated to the development of logistics, industrial, and port activities.
