About This Seaport
Anchoring one of the world's leading ceramic-tile clusters, the Port of Castellón — locally El Grao — channels the clays, feldspar and finished tiles of Castellón province across its quays, handling around 18.5 million tonnes in 2020 despite older records labelling it very small. Liquid bulk dominates thanks to the adjacent BP refinery, which processes some 6 million tonnes of crude a year alongside fuels and biodiesel. Solid bulk linked to ceramics is the second pillar, while a container terminal rated at roughly 250,000 TEU adds boxed cargo and breakbulk such as industrial plant. Road and rail tie the port to the inland ceramic district and the wider Spanish network. For forwarders, Castellón is most relevant for ceramic-sector bulk, petroleum products and project cargo, with wider container liner options available via nearby Valencia.
