València, 10th july 2023.- he Ambassador of Perú in Spain, Walter Gutiérrez, visited this morning the facilities of the Port of Valencia where he held a meeting with the President of the Port Authority of Valencia (PAV), Joan Calabuig. During the meeting, he was interested in the training projects that Valenciaport has underway and, specifically, in the master’s degree in Port Management and Intermodal Transport. This master’s degree has established itself as the most internationally prestigious training programme in Spanish, specialising in ports and transport, and has found a wide echo among professionals and postgraduates in Spain, Europe and Latin America.
The meeting was also attended by Marta Villalonga, Head of the Office of the President of the Port Authority of Valencia; Salvador Furió, Director of Innovation and Development of the Cluster of the Valenciaport Foundation; José Antonio Torrico, Consul General of Perú in València; and Leonardo Rafael Celis, Deputy Consul of Perú in València.
For his part, Calabuig explained to the Peruvian Embassy delegation Valenciaport’s main traffic, as well as other initiatives in areas such as decarbonisation, digitalisation and connections with its hinterland. The Valencian precincts maintain trade relations with various Peruvian ports, a sign of the high connectivity of its docks, which is a competitive advantage for export/import companies in its area of influence. Specifically in 2022, the main ports with which Valenciaport operated were: Callao, Paita, Matarani, Pisco and San Juan.
Last year, the annual loading and unloading traffic between Valenciaport and the Peruvian ports totalled 194,000 tonnes of goods, practically 100% of which were containerised. 54% of the operations carried out were exports, the main goods leaving the Valencian ports for Peru being: construction materials, followed by chemical products and fertilisers. On the other hand, import traffic focused mainly on fruit and vegetables, together with frozen products.
