Stellantis sets the rhythm of Vigo's quaysides: the carmaker's nearby plant feeds the Bouzas ro-ro terminal, where exactly 674,001 new vehicles were loaded in 2025 across five fixed ramps, an increase of 2.5 percent on the year before. Beyond automotive traffic, Vigo (ES VGO) is one of Spain's busiest fishing ports, handling close to one million tonnes of frozen, fresh and canned fish products a year within a total throughput of more than 5.5 million tonnes in 2025. The Guixar container terminal specialises in reefer cargo with over 1,300 plug-in points and set a record of 309,000 TEU in 2025, with the port authority targeting 400,000 TEU through reorganised yard space and new empty-container depots. A fresh five-year strategic plan commissioned in 2026 aims at seven million tonnes of cargo by 2030. Road and rail link the port to the Galician interior, though the mountainous corridor toward Madrid limits heavy bulk flows, and customs handling here is well practised for perishables, reefer boxes and breakbulk rather than large dry-bulk parcels. Shippers needing more container line capacity often route via Leixões in Portugal or Bilbao, with Marín and A Coruña as regional alternatives.
