From January to July 2024, Spanish general interest ports processed a total of 330,322,598 tons of cargo, marking a 3% increase compared to the same period in 2023. This growth reflects an uptick in various types of cargo handled at these ports. Specifically, general cargo rose by 7.1% to reach 165.6 million tons. A significant portion of this increase was driven by a notable rise in containerized traffic, which has become a key component of the ports’ cargo throughput. This trend underscores the ports' expanding role in global shipping and their capacity to manage growing volumes of containerized goods efficiently.
