Valenciaport takes Valencian and Spanish shoes to five continents (American Journal of Transportation)

In the last 12 months, the Port Authority of Valencia (APV) has managed 3004 containers with shoes destined for 71 countries around the world.

"Valenciaport has managed to bring the footwear industry to the furthest corners of the world. In the last 12 months, 442 TEUs have been mobilised to 15 Asian countries that have connections with the Valencian docks related to the transport of footwear. In the last 12 months, the Port Authority of Valencia has managed 3,004 containers with shoes destined for America, Africa, Asia, Oceania and Europe.

The vast clouds of space could have helped formed the ground beneath our feet, study suggests.

They said that further research could help confirm the connection, and tell us more about how the planet was formed.

Study links continent creation to 200-million year galactic comet cycle (New Atlas)

Geologists claim to have discovered a long-term cycle that may link the formation of Earth's continents to our travels through the galaxy.

“Our study reveals an exciting link between geological processes on Earth and the movement of the Solar System in our galaxy,” said Professor Chris Kirkland, lead researcher on the study. These objects can then migrate towards the inner solar system in the form of comets, increasing the chances of collisions with Earth. That means that periodically, the solar system will pass into and out of these more dense spiral arms. Our Sun, and the solar system as a whole, is traveling at about 240 km (150 miles) per second, while the large spiral arms orbit slower, at about 210 km (130 miles) per second. The Earth’s crust is mostly formed out of magma from the mantle cooling and crystalizing into solid rock. Geologists have discovered a long-term cycle that may connect the formation of Earth’s continents to increased comet impacts and the planet’s journey through the galaxy.

The maritime connectivity of Valenciaport allows the footwear industry a greater participation in international trade. America is the main importer of Valencian ...

Saudi Arabia (61 TEUs), Arab Emirates (53 TEUs), South Korea (51 TEUs) and China (33 TEUs) are some of the examples of the most dynamic countries. “Valenciaport has managed to bring the footwear industry to the furthest corners of the world. In the last 12 months, 442 TEUs have been mobilised to 15 Asian countries that have connections with the Valencian docks related to the transport of footwear. In the last 12 months, the Port Authority of Valencia has managed 3,004 containers with shoes destined for America, Africa, Asia, Oceania and Europe. For their part, African countries occupy second place in the ranking and account for 1,090 TEUs between August 2021 and July 2022. America is the main importer of Valencian and Spanish shoes: every day 4 containers leave the Valencian docks for 17 American countries.
