Multipurpose Terminal
APM Terminal Valencias' Multipurpose Terminal in the Port of Valencia was established on 1 May 1999. It was created through the merger of three small stevedoring companies and is located at the Levante Pier, in the Port of Valencia (Spain). It was acquired by APM Terminals (75%) in 2016. Our core activities are maritime and yard operations, together with machinery maintenance and repair. This includes stowage and intermodal loading and discharge of cargo (vessels, trucks and rail).
APM Terminals Valencia is the best supply chain option for ceramic cargo / automotive components and others industries due to its excellent highway connectivity and warehouses located near to Valencia. In Valencia we offer an export cost saving advantage to stuff reefers and dry cargo, compared to Alicante of €300. For imports, a daily connection between Madrid, Valencia and the terminal, as well as covering the regional hinterland in the middle of the Mediterranean coast, saves at least 3 days and up to € 150 for landside customers in LCL + delivery service.
