The Ribera del Ebro and the port of Bilbao

 

Nearly 33 million tons pass through the terminals of the port of Bilbao annually in all types of presentations/packaging (liquids, packages, boxes, containers, big bags, conventional, groupage, etc.) with origin/destination in more than 150 countries.

It is the main port for containerized and ro-ro merchandise with Northern Europe and the Atlantic link for Africa, America and the Eastern Mediterranean and with the Canary Islands.

On the other hand, it is a logistics center that concentrates project cargo and, with it, all the associated services that entail: special transportation, equipment for handling large loads, advice on contracts, customs clearance, even the possibility of assembly in the own port.

Within the offer of the maritime terminals are specialized in oil and hydrocarbons, chemical products for all types of industries, general merchandise and food bulk. To all this we must add value-added services, such as palletizing, labeling, grouping and even integration of inventory control processes that can be carried out in any of the facilities at the port of Bilbao. “The port client is the importer exporter, "But road transport companies are also well versed in the services that ferries offer to connect various European countries." They point.

In the La Ribera region and surrounding areas, Bilbao companies have a significant number of clients, both importers/exporters and international transport companies. The economic importance of this geographical area is demonstrated by the fact that its foreign trade (in tons) represents 4% of Spain's import/export and 6% in value.

“In summary,” they emphasize, “the objective of the day is to publicize logistics news for shippers and transporters. Some of them have been mentioned during the communication campaign that precedes this event, such as the new maritime services with the United States, Turkey or the Canary Islands, along with the continuous review of the procedures linked to customs clearance and border inspections that we carry out that allow us to affirm that the positioning/dispatches are attended to (except in exceptional cases) during the

day".
