In 2025, the major ports of the Iberian Peninsula exhibited varied development trends. The Port of Valencia achieved significant growth this year, with its container throughput reaching 5.66 million TEUs, setting a new record, while also seeing an improvement in profits. In contrast, the operational performance of the Port of Barcelona and Portuguese ports appeared less balanced, with fluctuations in some indicators.

The Port of Valencia's throughput breaking its historical high reflects its enhanced competitiveness in regional logistics. The profit growth may stem from improved operational efficiency or expanded market demand. The Port of Barcelona faced some challenges in 2025, with its performance being mixed, which may be related to factors such as infrastructure updates and changes in the trade environment. Portuguese ports also showed uneven development, with some ports potentially constrained by scale or resource allocation.

Overall, the performance of Iberian ports in 2025 showed significant divergence. The Port of Valencia stood out with strong data, while other ports need to address operational adjustments. This trend may influence the future strategic layout and investment direction of regional ports.
