Barcelona has become the second most attractive port in Europe for investment in logistics, according to Savills’s European Index of Port Logistics Opportunities (EPLOI), in which Barcelona has been assigned 94.33 points.
The growth of international trade is behind this boom, according to the consultancy, which has boosted the capacity of the port of Barcelona by 70% over the last five years. That represents the fastest rate of increase amongst the top 5 markets in the ranking. Valencia occupies third place, with 89.93 points.
