Valencia is one of 3 discharge points we use for Spain cargo, alongside Barcelona and Algeciras. Which one is right for your shipment depends less on the map than on the sailing schedule: a box that leaves the UK five days earlier on a direct string usually beats a nominally closer port served only by transhipment.
Into Valencia we can load 20ft and 40ft full container loads, weekly LCL groupage from two cubic metres, roll-on roll-off vehicles where the service calls, and flat rack or breakbulk for out-of-gauge machinery. Cars, vans, motorhomes, trucks, tractors and plant are all regular traffic on this lane, as are household removals and palletised trade goods.
Terminal handling, import duty and any local taxes at Valencia are payable by the consignee unless you instruct us to arrange a delivered service. We provide the full documentation pack so the entry can be lodged the day the arrival notice lands.
Free time at Valencia is limited and storage accrues daily once it expires, so we send the vessel ETA as soon as it is confirmed and recommend appointing your destination broker before departure. On the UK side we collect from any postcode, load and brace at our own East Tilbury facility, lodge the export entry and issue the bill of lading in-house.
Typical routing is UK collection, loading and sealing in Essex, haulage to the berth, 6 days at sea, discharge at Valencia, customs clearance and onward delivery. Ask for a written quotation and we will set out every line, including the charges your consignee should expect locally.
