On 8 and 9 February 2026, Singlar Shipping Agency successfully handled a RORO vessel call at the Port of Gandia, reaffirming our expertise in specialized port operations and international cargo traffic.
During the call, approximately 3,300 metric tons of MDF board produced in Spain were loaded for final destination Algeria, in an operation requiring technical coordination, logistical planning, and efficient quay execution.
3,300 metric tons of MDF board bound for Algeria
The cargo, MDF board manufactured in Spain, was loaded into the vessel’s holds using rolling equipment, specifically forklifts, ensuring proper stowage and weight distribution on board.
This type of operation requires:
- Precise cargo planning
- Weight control and hold distribution management
- Close coordination between stevedores, shipping agent, and vessel master
- Documentary and operational supervision
Proper management ensured compliance with the scheduled departure time and a transit time of approximately 24 hours to North Africa — a strategic market for Spanish wood-based product exports.
The Port of Gandia: a benchmark in MDF board handling
The Port of Gandia is highly specialized in the loading and discharge of MDF board and stands as one of the most relevant hubs for this traffic in the Western Mediterranean.
Its infrastructure, operational expertise, and sector specialization allow for:
- Efficient handling of large cargo volumes
- Optimized port call turnaround times
- Reduction of operational incidents
- Dedicated RORO facilities
At Singlar Shipping Agency, we have been involved in this type of operation since our early days, supporting exporters, importers, and shipowners at every stage of the process — from vessel agency services to full documentary and operational coordination in port.
