Diario del Puerto

What Diario del Puerto does

Diario del Puerto is a Spanish B2B trade media company focused exclusively on the logistics sector, publishing since 1993 out of Alboraya, Spain. Its core product is a daily digital news outlet covering maritime, port, rail, air freight, road transport, and broader logistics topics, with dedicated sections for each mode and a vertical-only audience of logistics professionals, port authorities, and transport operators in Spain and internationally.

The product surface extends beyond news: it includes the Quién es Quién professional directory, the Hemeroteca digital archive, specialized sector dossiers under Publicaciones, a premium subscription tier branded Diario del Puerto Plus, the Newsletter Matinal morning briefing, and a WhatsApp channel for real-time distribution. The company also organizes the Fiesta de la Logística industry event, held in Bilbao and now expanded to Gijón, which serves as a primary in-person networking and brand-building channel.

The business model is a hybrid B2B media model combining recurring digital subscriptions (with a one-month free trial leading into monthly or annual paid access), advertising on the website (banner and megabanner placements), and event sponsorship/participation. Distribution is primarily regional to Spain via self-serve web and email channels, with direct sales engagement for advertising and event partnerships. The publication is OJD-audited, providing third-party audience verification. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, no public listing, and no disclosed ownership or leadership information in the available data.

Direct peers

• Trans.info: European logistics and transport industry news portal covering road, rail, air, and maritime. Comparable as a pan-European B2B logistics media outlet with digital-first distribution and a multi-modal coverage strategy.
• Safety4Sea: Maritime digital media platform covering shipping, ports, and regulatory topics. Comparable in digital-first B2B maritime media model with newsletter and audience engagement, though focused on safety and regulatory angles.
• American Shipper: US-focused trade media covering ocean shipping, ports, and freight logistics. Closely comparable in editorial model (specialized trade news, paid digital subscriptions, multi-modal freight coverage) but serves the North American market.
• FreightWaves: US digital-first freight and logistics media platform with data, news, and analytics products. Comparable in B2B digital-first GTM and subscription-plus-advertising model, though operating at a larger scale and with more data/tech orientation.
• Port Strategy: Global B2B media serving port and terminal operators, shipping lines, and port authorities. Highly comparable in target audience and editorial focus (port industry), providing the closest international analogue to Diario del Puerto's maritime/port coverage.
• AJOT (American Journal of Transportation): North American B2B trade publication covering freight transportation across modes. Comparable in editorial positioning as a multi-modal trade outlet with digital distribution, though serving a different geographic market.
• Transporte XXI: Spanish-language trade publication covering transport, logistics, and freight in Spain. Closest direct peer in language, geography, and vertical focus, providing direct competition for Spanish logistics advertisers and subscribers.

Broad incumbents

• Lloyd's List: Historic global maritime and shipping trade publication now owned by Lloyd's Register. Directly comparable in being a specialist trade media outlet covering maritime and port industries, though it operates globally and at a much larger scale.

Emerging players

• Air Cargo News: Specialist B2B media covering global air freight and cargo industry. Comparable for being a single-mode trade media outlet within logistics, though focused exclusively on air rather than the multi-modal coverage Diario del Puerto offers.
• RailFreight: European rail freight media outlet covering rail cargo, intermodal, and infrastructure. Comparable as a B2B trade media specializing in a single transport mode within the broader logistics industry Diario del Puerto covers.
