The Port of Sines was present at Fruit Attraction 2026, one of the largest international fairs dedicated to the fruit, vegetable, and horticultural products sector, held annually in Madrid. The participation of the Port of Sines authority aligns with the strategy of stakeholder engagement and promoting its logistics offer for the development of import and export cargo.
Direct contact with producers, distributors, logistics operators, and retailers allows for feedback collection and performance assessment. It also provides an opportunity to present infrastructure development projects, connectivity to distant markets, and cargo dispatch conditions.
The refrigerated cargo segment, encompassing the fruit sector, is a strategic high-value niche for the Port of Sines. It acts as a significant catalyst for attracting new cargo flows, aiming to position Sines as an entry and exit gateway for cargo in the Iberian Peninsula, particularly on Atlantic routes.
During the mission to Madrid, the satisfaction of operators, importers, and exporters with the Port of Sines' performance in refrigerated containerized cargo in 2026 was evident. This success is attributed to the excellent commitment and cooperation among the port's stakeholders, which is key to establishing Sines as a relevant port in this increasingly competitive cargo segment.
