What Pérez Torres Marítima does

Pérez Torres Marítima, S.L. is a privately held Spanish integrated port logistics operator headquartered in Pontevedra, Galicia, providing shipping agency, stevedoring, port operations, chartering, freight forwarding, customs brokerage, warehousing, and sea fastening services across approximately 20 terminals on the Spanish and Portuguese coast, with an additional representative office in Shanghai, China. The company's core operating assets include TERMARÍN, a multi-purpose container terminal in Marín with 100,000+ m² of area, 500 m of quay, 14 m draft, three STS cranes, 500+ reefer connections, and an adjacent railway terminal; a specialized forestry products terminal in Ferrol with 160-ton paper-roll ramps; and a wind turbine components terminal in Ferrol. Its revenue model is anchored on multi-leg professional service contracts (port operations, stevedoring, warehousing) and fees from shipping line agency relationships; the company does not disclose pricing publicly and operates on a quote-based, project-by-project model tied to cargo volume, type, and port location.

The company's customer base spans global container shipping lines (Maersk/Safmarine/Seago/SCL, Hamburg Süd, MOL, COSCO, Yang Ming, Arkas, Marguisa, CMA CGM, ONE, Hapag Lloyd, X-Press Feeders), industrial anchor clients (Alcoa at San Ciprián, UPM via the Ferrol–Santander–Amsterdam–Kotka–Rauma Ro-Ro service), and project cargo owners in the wind energy and offshore sectors. Pérez Torres holds extensive compliance certifications (ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, EMAS, SQAS, ISO 39001, ISCC, CRAEGA, AEO) and is a BIMCO member; co-shareholders include the Megasa steel group and the Pérez Torres family port group. The current legal entity was incorporated in 2005 via a merger-split from the parent Grupo Pérez Torres, although the underlying operating history extends back to 1962.
