The ports of Valencia and Seville will reinforce their collaboration in areas of sustainability, decarbonisation and connectivity, as announced by the presidents of the two port authorities, Aurelio Martínez and Rafael Carmona, during a meeting at the Port of Valencia.
Particularly, the two Spanish ports will continue to collaborate on projects to prevent climate change, as well as to improve efficiency and connectivity, and establish synergies that will benefit their operations and competitiveness.
