Diversification

Barcelona is the most competitive logistics centre to serve the markets of Europe, the Mediterranean, Africa and South America. In addition, the Port offers direct maritime services for containers with transit times that are competitive with the main areas of the world.

The Port of Barcelona is in a position to act as a multi-country logistics centre and commercial base for Asian companies with an advantage over other northern European regions and offers efficient distribution by road and rail to the main industrial, logistics and consumer centres from Europe, North Africa and the Mediterranean.

In Barcelona it is easy to find industrial and commercial partners and access qualified labour. Thanks to its industrial, commercial and innovative tradition, it has internationalised business clusters where it is easy to find an industrial or commercial partner who knows the markets and sectors of interest.

Barcelona is recognised for its specialisation in areas such as fashion, automotive, e-commerce, precision machinery, the chemical, primary and secondary industry, among others, and for this reason it has value-added logistics services.

A differentiating characteristic of the port community of the Port of Barcelona is that it has a powerful logistics cluster with numerous global operators specialised in geographical areas, industries and products, which offer value-added services to respond to the needs of companies interested in distributing their products to southern European countries from Barcelona.

Barcelona European Logistics Centre, a joint initiative of the Port of Barcelona , ACCIO (Generalitat de Catalunya) and Barcelona City Council,  informs and helps foreign companies interested in finding a commercial and/or logistics partner in Barcelona / Catalonia for southern Europe.
