• The VCFI Index closed the year at a record high of 4,063 points, a threefold increase since the beginning of the historical series in January 2018
• The high demand for port traffic, the price of maritime fuel, congestion in some ports, disruptions in supply chains and the complex international environment have conditioned the evolution of the maritime market
• In the case of Valenciaport, the dynamism shown by the Spanish economy and the export sector in its hinterland must be added
• The upward trend has been generalised for the three reference sub-indices Western Mediterranean (+112% since the beginning of the historical series), Far East (+274%) and United States and Canada (+456%)
• In 2022, it will be marked by the uncertainty generated by the conflict in Ukraine, inflation and the normalisation of supply chains
