The Marín docks have successfully reestablished fruit imports, primarily melons and mangoes, just four months after reviving a service lost in 2019. Container traffic has surged by 7%, with an impressive monthly average of over 4,000 containers.

Following a significant decline in fruit traffic in late 2019 that affected overall activity, the Port of Marín has firmly re-entered the maritime fruit transport circuit. As of last September, the new weekly line connecting Natal in Brazil with Marín, Rotterdam, and Dover is thriving. This service now brings in an average of 1,200 tons of fruit weekly, contributing to last year's record total of over 2.6 million tons. In 2024, imports reached approximately 1.7 million tons—an extraordinary 26% increase—while exports soared nearly 700,000 tons.

The fruit from Brazil is delivered on pallets instead of containers, with over a thousand pallets arriving each week. The Wild Lotus, a 150-meter refrigerated ship, was the first to dock with this cargo. The Maritime Agency Davimar efficiently manages the unloading process at the Davila Reefer Terminal. José Benito Suárez Costa, President of the Port Authority, affirmed that Marín's selection as a port of call is a strategic win for diversifying traffic. He underscored that Marín is a highly competitive port with extensive expertise in handling fresh produce. The Port Authority is committed to promoting its superior services in refrigerated traffic globally, actively participating in key trade fairs like Conxemar and Fruit Attraction.

The Port Authority has initiated a bold plan to renovate the market hall's interior and roof, backed by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund funding. This project will construct a robust metal over-roof to eliminate leaks and improve thermal efficiency, boasting a budget of 786,237 euros and a ten-month execution timeline. This renovation is part of a decisive strategy to strengthen the fishing sector, following other successful upgrades funded by European resources. While previous renovations did not disrupt sales activity, the roof work may necessitate temporary suspensions, but this is a necessary step towards enhancing the market hall's functionality.
