dynamism and economic weight
The dynamism and economic and social weight of the Bilbao port sector was once again revealed at the UniportBilbao assembly held this Wednesday. Its president, Jaber Bringas, president of the grouping, said: “despite the shadows that always exist, this sector does not lose its dynamism and, proof of this, are the presentations we made last week in the United Kingdom, the port’s main client”. Last year Bilbao represented 27% of the traffic with the United Kingdom of the group of State ports, “and as of October it has gone to 33%. We continue to grow because we are competitive”said.
This commercial mission complements the promotion campaign of the port of Bilbao carried out over the last 18 months and aimed at supporting, with logistical solutions, English and Spanish importers and exporters after the implementation of Brexit, and which has been coordinated by Uniport.
“Uniport is, as always, dealing with the competitiveness and promotion of our port, and for this we analyze the situation of the sector, we anticipate what is to come and the challenges that exist, and we are the voice of the port community before the competent administrations to improve our port”highlights the president of UniportBilbao.
