A port in constant growth

The president of the Port Authority, Rubén Ibáñez, highlighted that “PortCastelló is today a port in continuous growth, with solid foundations and a clear strategy that allows us to look to 2026 with even better expectations.”
Rubén Ibáñez emphasized that “we have positioned ourselves as a true window of opportunity in the Mediterranean for those who bet on maritime traffic.”
Between January and October, the main commercial partners of the Port of Castellón are Turkey, Morocco, Guyana, Canada, Egypt, Romania and Italy, reinforcing the port’s position as a strategic enclave for Mediterranean and Atlantic routes.
