Port stays are getting shorter, but the to-do list isn’t. Global shipping lines are working to reduce time in port while handling more tasks per call – from crew change and provisioning to spare part delivery and inspections. This is where Spain comes in.
Algeciras, Valencia and Las Palmas are strategically positioned, fast-moving and fully equipped – making them ideal for multi-service port calls. Jens Lundin, Country Manager in Wrist Spain, says:
“At Wrist, we strive to turn a complex list of requirements into one smooth operation”
Here is how the port capabilities and our services come together:
