Short sea shipping is a form of maritime transportation that involves the movement of goods by ship over relatively short distances, typically within the same geographic region. It can involve shipping goods between ports located within the same country, or between neighboring countries in the same region.

Short sea shipping can offer several advantages over other modes of transportation, such as:

1. Cost-effectiveness: Shipping goods by sea can often be cheaper than using other modes of transportation, especially for larger volumes or bulk cargoes.
2. Environmental sustainability: Shipping by sea produces less greenhouse gas emissions per ton of cargo than other modes of transportation, such as road or air transport.
3. Reliability: Shipping by sea is often more reliable than road transport, as it is less affected by traffic congestion and other factors that can cause delays.
4. Capacity: Shipping by sea allows for the transport of large volumes of goods at one time, which can help to optimize transportation capacity and reduce overall costs.

Short sea shipping can be used for a wide range of goods, including dry and liquid bulk cargoes, containerized goods, and project cargoes. It is often used for trade within Europe, where there is a well-developed network of ports and shipping routes.

Valencia is a major seaport located on the east coast of Spain, and short sea shipping is an important mode of transportation for goods to and from the region. Where short shipping is available and it can be simulated in this site but for now is only available to Italy

As the future comes, is going to be expected that this shipping lines increase as Valencia is a major port for transport to UE neighbour countries. Overall, short sea shipping from Valencia is and will be a more key component of the region’s logistics and transportation infrastructure, providing efficient and cost-effective transportation options for goods within the Mediterranean region and beyond.
