So far this year, the volume of tonnes imported from Ukraine has been 354,265 tonnes, which is 116.68 per cent greater than the amount unloaded in the same period last year. Goods in transit increased by 20.16 per cent, while exports stayed at zero.

However, the countries with the highest TEU traffic with Valencia were Greece (+82.91 per cent), Egypt (+81.45 per cent), and Saudi Arabia (+76.61 per cent), owing to an increase in transshipment traffic at Valencian docks, primarily from Asia and destined for other Mediterranean ports.

Exports to Morocco (+16.59 per cent) and France (+64.45 per cent) also increased significantly in the first quarter of the year.
