Representatives of shipping companies, maritime services companies, and the energy transition attended the presentation of the port of Algeciras in Singapore, within the framework of the trade mission being carried out this week by the Algeciras Bay Port Authority (APBA) together with about twenty companies from the port community.
During the presentation, the president of the APBA, Gerardo Landaluce, emphasized that “the ports of Algeciras and Singapore have great potential to cooperate in digitalization and decarbonization,” thereby reinforcing the established relationship between these two major global logistics and port hubs.

Together with the president of the Port Community (Comport), José Manuel Tejedor, and the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Carlos Fenoy, Landaluce has led this trade mission, which included an intense work agenda that culminated with the presentation event of the port of Algeciras and its port community in the halls of the 18th floor of the Pan Pacific Orchard Hotel in downtown Singapore.
