As president of the Asociación Naviera Valenciana (ANV), I am pleased to show all the members, as well as the people interested in our entity, the contents and the new format of our website, an updated and completely renewed digital portal to make the information is more attractive and the search for the contents generated by the association is easier.
I welcome you to the new website of the ANV, a century-old entity founded in 1902 by Valencian companies to defend and project the port of Valencia nationally and internationally. An association to which later, in 1985, the companies from the ports of Sagunto and Gandía joined when these port facilities were integrated into the management scope of the current Port Authority of Valencia.
Today, our mission is not far from what it offered at the beginning, in that we continue with our commitment to defend our associated companies and to enable the growth of the ports of Valencia, Sagunto and Gandía. Proof of this is the unstoppable increase that these port facilities have, as well as their potential to continue this trajectory, being one of the main engines of the Valencian economy.
The ANV has brought together both shipping and stevedoring companies since its inception, and we remain united despite, on some occasions, having conflicting interests. For us, our greatest strength, without a doubt, is being able to stay together and, through dialogue and negotiation, seek synergies and meeting points that make us increasingly stronger.
From this association, together with other business entities, the Port Authority of Valencia and the central Administration, in short, together with the entire port community, we work day by day committed to the port of Valencia so that it maintains its leadership and continues with growth sustainable in the future.
We remain at the disposal of both its partners and members, as well as the users of this portal, to attend to any queries they send us, as well as suggestions for improvement, at the same time that we invite them to use it regularly.
All the best:
Vicente Boluda Fos
President of the Valencian Shipping Association
