Stellantis sets the rhythm of Vigo's quaysides: the carmaker's nearby plant feeds the Bouzas ro-ro terminal, where around 657,000 new vehicles were loaded in 2024 across five fixed ramps, three quarters of them for export. Beyond automotive traffic, Vigo is one of Spain's busiest fishing ports, handling close to one million tonnes of frozen, fresh and canned fish products annually. The Guixar container terminal specialises in reefer cargo with more than 1,300 plug-in points and moves close to 300,000 TEU (2024), ranking Vigo among Spain's top container gateways. Road and rail link the port to the Galician interior, though the mountainous corridor toward Madrid limits heavy bulk flows. Customs handling is well practised for perishables, reefer boxes and project cargo rather than large-scale dry bulk. Shippers needing higher container line capacity often route via Leixões in Portugal or Bilbao, with Marín and A Coruña as regional alternatives.
