Despite the stoppages and the stowage conflict, the figures are surprisingly positive with growth of almost 4% and with a cargo volume higher than last year. International Maritime Transport Puertos del Estado has just released the first data on the profitability of the main port facilities in Spain . And the figure is, one more year, positive. And all this despite what could be feared regarding conflicts with stowage. The ports of Spain handled 46 million tons of cargo, showing growth of 3.69% during the first five months of the year and a volume of 217.46 million tons of cargo handled. On the B side there is only one port, which is also the largest in the country. This is the Bay of Algeciras in Cádiz , the main port of entry from Africa. During this first stage of the year, it fell 4.05%, despite growing 2.2% in May. However, the other two largest ports in the country continue with good figures, Valencia and Barcelona . The capital of the Spanish Levante registered an average increase of 0.97%, rising to 2% in May. While Barcelona rose to 20.2% growth, undoubtedly helped by receiving diverted traffic from other facilities. It should be noted that although the dockers' stoppages in ports did not take place until last June, since February ports and companies have denounced acts of covert strike and poor performance, as well as diversions of ships by shipping companies. Y como telón de fondo la reforma del sector de la estiba por parte del Gobierno para liberalizarlo y adaptarlo a la normativa europea, una reconversión que finalmente logró que el Congreso aprobara precisamente a mediados de mayo en su segundo intento. Si hablamos de tipos de mercancías, sobresale el tránsito de graneles líquidos que creció un 5,87% en mayo y un 3,61% en los cinco primeros meses. También el de graneles sólidos que subió un 1,13% en el quinto mes del año para concluir el periodo con una progresión del 1,93%. Si hablamos de modo de transporte, el tráfico de contenedores Teus, el de mayor peso en puertos como los de Valencia y Algeciras, repunta hasta el 3,94%, tras dispararse un 11,3% en mayo. Merchandise in transit, the one that stops in Spain en route to another final destination, also increased 13.3% in the month and 6.49% in the period as a whole.
