Contact UsThe Port of Barcelona (Port de Barcelona) represents the primary maritime gateway for Southern Europe, serving as a critical nexus connecting Catalonian manufacturing powerhouses with trade routes across North America, Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. As a premier ocean export shipping manufacturer, container supplier, and end-to-end logistics operator, our corporate infrastructure delivers sophisticated supply chain solutions engineered to navigate the complex regulatory and physical demands of international trade.
Modern ocean export management requires far more than basic freight brokerage. It demands a holistic integration of container structural engineering, digital customs clearance (SADT/ADT processing), carrier allotment management, and inland intermodal drayage. Operating within the Zona d'Activitats Logístiques (ZAL Port) ecosystem, our operations bridge the gap between heavy industrial manufacturing and ocean carrier transport, ensuring zero-defect compliance for high-value industrial goods, automotive components, pharmaceutical products, and bulk raw materials exported from Spain.
By leveraging certified ISO-standard Corten steel container manufacturing alongside FMC-licensed non-vessel operating common carrier (NVOCC) capabilities, we provide export entities in Catalonia with complete risk mitigation, guaranteed vessel slot availability during peak seasons, and optimized total cost of logistics (TCL).
Tailored maritime shipping and custom container solutions engineered for Barcelona's core export sectors.
Catalonia's automotive cluster (centered around Martorell and Zona Franca) demands just-in-sequence (JIS) export shipping. We supply custom 40ft High Cube containers equipped with internal lashing tracks and anti-vibration dunnage for engine blocks, stamping dies, and EV battery components destined for North American assembly plants.
With Barcelona ranking as Europe’s premier chemical hub, we provide specialized ISO Reefer containers and ADR-compliant Dangerous Goods ocean export solutions. Certified handling under EU GDP guidelines ensures thermal stability (+2°C to +8°C) for global pharmaceutical distribution.
Heavy machinery manufacturers in the Vallès Occidental corridor utilize our DNV 2.7-1 certified flat racks and open-top containers. Our engineering teams oversee crane loading, heavy-lift securement, and breakaway tie-down calculations at the BEST and APM ocean terminals.
Catalonia's fashion retail conglomerates require Garment-on-Hanger (GOH) sea container modifications. We manufacture specialized dust-proof, moisture-controlled GOH container interiors to maintain garment integrity during long-haul sea passages to global markets.
Supporting Spain’s green energy export sector, we supply bulk volumes of 40HC dry containers designed for maximum spatial optimization of solar modules, inverters, and wind turbine sub-assemblies shipped to global infrastructure projects.
Anticipating regulatory updates, decarbonization mandates, and digital customs transitions in Southern Europe.
The Port of Barcelona's Climate Plan mandates a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Our operations align with this transition through the adoption of shore-power connection capabilities (Onshore Power Supply - OPS) for docked vessels, bio-fuel blended feeder vessel options, and carbon-offset tracking for enterprise shippers.
The expansion of the Mediterranean Rail Corridor (Corredor Mediterráneo) directly links Barcelona ocean terminals with standard-gauge European rail networks. This enables seamless, low-carbon intermodal movement from central Spanish industrial zones (Zaragoza, Madrid) straight to shipboard stowage.
With Spain implementing modernized electronic customs manifest protocols (Ventanilla Única de Comercio Exterior - VUCE), our 4GL data platforms integrate directly with Agencia Tributaria customs databases, accelerating clearance speeds and eliminating terminal storage bottlenecks.
Founded in 1995, G&B International Logistics (Green & Blue Group) has evolved into an international powerhouse in ocean freight forwarding, specialized container manufacturing, and supply chain management. Operating with direct FMC licensing (#4159N/F) in Washington, D.C., and authorized economic operator (AEO) status, G&B provides Catalonian exporters with direct access to carrier tier-1 ocean rates, proprietary vessel slot allocations, and dedicated container equipment fleets.
Federal Maritime Commission licensed (#4159N/F) as an Ocean Freight Forwarder and NVOCC, enabling direct bill of lading issuing authority worldwide.
Certified Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) and U.S. Customs ISA holder (#GL0110004), ensuring expedited customs clearance protocols.
Dangerous Goods Operation Certificate (#A03043) holder and FAA affiliated, authorized for high-risk chemical ocean cargo transportation.
Our operational model in the Barcelona market centers on eliminating supply chain friction. Through our state-of-the-art 4th Generation Logistics (4GL) control towers, clients gain end-to-end visibility over their ocean exports—from container drayage at factory gates in Sabadell or Terrassa, through customs manifest filing, to vessel departure from Port de Barcelona, and final destination port discharge.
Expert technical answers regarding ocean container logistics, port operations, and European customs compliance.
Direct liner services from Port de Barcelona (BEST/APM terminals) to US East Coast gateways such as New York/New Jersey, Norfolk, and Savannah typically achieve transit times of 12 to 16 days. Transit to Gulf Coast ports (Houston) averages 18 to 22 days, while Transpacific routes via canal transit require approximately 28 to 34 days depending on carrier loops.
We supply custom-engineered DNV 2.7-1 certified flat racks and open-top containers. Our technical survey teams compute center-of-gravity dynamics, design custom steel lashing rigs, and secure direct-to-vessel loading authorization at Barcelona’s specialized breakbulk berth facilities.
Exporters must provide a Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Single Administrative Document (DUA - Declaración Única de Aduanas), Transport Document (Master/House Bill of Lading), and dependent on product classification, Certificates of Origin (EUR.1), ATR certificates, or MSDS for dangerous goods.
The Zona d'Activitats Logístiques (ZAL) sits directly adjacent to container terminals. Utilizing ZAL warehousing minimizes container drayage costs, enables pre-customs bond storage (ADT), provides cross-docking flexibility, and eliminates port demurrage risks during customs inspection delays.
Yes. As a primary container manufacturer, we maintain localized stock of brand-new, ISO-compliant 20ft dry, 40ft High Cube, and specialized open-top containers in Barcelona depots, available for purchase or export leasing with full CSC safety approval plates.
FCL (Full Container Load) rates are billed per container unit based on equipment type (20GP/40HC) and destination lane. LCL (Less than Container Load) rates are calculated per Weight/Measurement (W/M) unit (1 CBM = 1,000 kg, whichever yields higher revenue), plus origin terminal handling fees (THC) and customs declaration costs.
