Shipping is a fundamental part of intermodal goods transport, and is a key element of the intermodal chain; as you can see in this video attached.
In Ro-ro transport, the goods transported on platforms, trailers and tankers travel by road until they reach a port where they are loaded on board ship and move towards their destination by sea. This combination of land and maritime transport ensures quality transit, which is competitive in terms of times and costs.
The operations to enter the Port of Valencia are simple, as are those to reach the terminal. Once on board, the advantages for the vehicle and its driver are obvious: the loaded trucks arrive sooner, with less wear and tear: driving times stop counting, rest periods are maintained, and in the case of accompanied transport, the drivers are ready to continue their journey as soon as the ship arrives at its destination.
Ro-ro goods traffic accounts for over 10% of traffic at the Port Authority of Valencia’s ports. In addition to regular services to and from the Balearic Islands, the Port of Valencia has nine regular lines which sail from Valencia to 13 countries and 22 ports.
Machinery, tools, cars, oil, wine, chemical products, paper, building materials and other types of goods are increasingly choosing this type of regular transport service. It is undoubtedly a real, safe, and competitive transport option at the ports managed by the Port Authority of Valencia.
