CEDIPORT joins other tools open to the public that position Valenciaport as a benchmark in digitisation and transparency
València, August 30th, 2021.- The Port Documentation and Information Centre of the Valencian Community, CEDIPORT, joins the network of Specialised Libraries of the Generalitat Valenciana (BEGV) and makes available more than 10,000 publications focused on port, maritime, transport and logistics topics. This is another step forward in facilitating accessibility to any citizen interested in learning about this sector, which has already been available since the beginning of this year on the Valenciaport website.
CEDIPORT, which was set up in 2004, is the documentation centre of the Port Authority of Valencia (APV) and the Valenciaport Foundation, specialising in the maritime-port sector and offering users a wide range of continuously updated documents. Among the tools managed by this Centre are the library information resources, newspaper and periodicals library of technical publications, media library and management of the APV’s photographic collection. In this Centre you can learn about, research and study subjects such as logistics, transport, foreign trade, ports and coasts, environment and engineering in depth.
CEDIPORT joins other tools open to the public that position Valenciaport, in its commitment to digitalisation and transparency, as a benchmark in the implementation of cutting-edge information and communication technologies in the Spanish and European port system.
In this sense, it is worth highlighting the PUBLICARME platform, a pioneering project of the APV, developed jointly with Microsoft and the technology consultancy ENCAMINA, which makes available to all citizens its extensive historical documentary heritage, consisting of nearly 10,000 documents dating from the mid-nineteenth century to 1940, as well as 102 annual economic, environmental and works reports.
These tools are in addition to other indicators such as the monthly Valencia Containerised Freight Index (VCFI), which allows exporters in Valenciaport’s hinterland to know the evolution of the freight rates they have to pay for their shipments abroad, or the Monthly Statistical Bulletin to know the evolution of traffic and its characteristics. In addition, it also has the Times of Call tool, the Connectivity Index and the different reports such as the economic and environmental reports. Valenciaport’s commitment to public information has been recognised by different institutions such as ARUP University, which selected the entity to carry out a study on the impact on maritime transport of Covid-19 as the European port most committed to transparency.
