Puerto’s del Estado has published detailed container traffic statistics for Spanish ports covering January to August 2024. During this period, total TEU traffic reached 12.1 million, marking an impressive 11.6% increase compared to the same timeframe last year. This growth reflects a consistent upward trend in container handling that has been evident since the beginning of the year, driven by robust demand in various sectors. Breaking it down further, the increase in TEUs in transit was recorded at 17.8%. While this is still a significant rise, it is slightly lower than the higher growth rates seen in previous months, suggesting that the dynamics of transit traffic may be shifting. This could be due to various factors, such as changes in trade routes, adjustments in shipping schedules, or broader economic influences impacting logistics. Overall, the data underscores the resilience of Spanish ports in adapting to the evolving landscape of global trade, as they continue to handle increasing volumes despite the challenges faced in the maritime industry.
