Port of València launches Logistics Activities Zone project

The Port Authority of València (PAV) is launching the ZAL project (Logistics Activities Zone) of the Port of València. The Board of Directors of Valencia Intermodal and Logistics Platform (VPI-Logistica) met today to initiate all the necessary procedures to activate the project.

The Board of Directors of VPI-Logística, chaired from today by the president of the PAV, also incorporates the new directors of the company: three representing the PAV, two representing the Generalitat Valenciana, one representing the City Council of València and a representative of SEPES (Entidad Pública Empresarial de Suelo) who repeats in the position.

The members of the Council emphasised the importance of the Supreme Court ruling – judgement no. 441/2024 of 12 March, which was made public two days later – which declares the Special Plan for the ZAL of the Port of València to be following the law.

This Supreme Court ruling clears up the legal and urban planning uncertainty of the ZAL, allowing the formalisation of the surface rights awarded on four of the logistics plots in the park to be activated.

The operations of VPI

Valencia Plataforma Intermodal y Logística, is a state-owned trading company and technical service of the Port Authority of València, in charge of the Logistic and Intermodal development associated with the Ports of the Port Authority of València and of those works that favour the commercialisation of the Logistic Activity Zones of the Intermodal Centres and of the Port Authority of València.

The surface area of the ZAL of the Port of València is destined exclusively for logistics.

It is strategically located next to the Port of València and the main transport hubs, making it an area of great interest for companies involved in logistics linked to maritime traffic and for those planning to establish a strategic distribution centre with international projection.
