11 DIARIO DEL PUERTO MARTES 19 MAYO 2026 ra un sistema más resiliente frente a disrupciones globales, desde tensiones geopolíticas hasta cambios en las rutas marítimas. Europa no compite en volumen con Asia, pero sí destaca por un modelo diversificado y eficiente. En ese equilibrio entre concentración y capilaridad reside, precisamente, la fortaleza de su sistema portuario. gthens its strategic role in the Strait, while Valencia combines its function as a gateway with transshipment, which allows it to maintain a prominent position. Barcelona and Gioia Tauro complete this Mediterranean block with figures around 3.5 million TEUs, providing diversity and specialization to the system. BeyondtheTop10, theEuropean port system shows increasing penetration. In fact, ports such as Gdansk, in Poland, with around 2.1 million TEUs, or the Port of Sines, in Portugal, with 1.8 million, reflect this trend. The Slovenian port of Koper (1.1 million TEUs) and the Port of Klaipeda, in Lithuania, with 1 million TEUs, also stand out, strengthening the logistics network in Eastern Europe and the Baltic. These enclaves allow for diversification of flows, reducing dependence on the major hubs, and bringing logistics closer to newmarkets. More balanced and resilient The 2025 data show how the European port map no longer responds exclusively to the logic of concentration. Although the large ports continue to lead in volume, the emergence of secondarynodes introduces greater competition and flexibility. This balance betweenhubs and medium-sized ports shapes a system that is more resilient to global disruptions, fromgeopolitical tensions to changes in shipping routes. Europe does not compete in volume with Asia, but it does stand out for a diversified and efficient model. It is precisely in this balance between concentration and capillarity that the strength of its port system lies.
