In a moment of digital and operational transformation for the nautical sector, Canarymaritime is launching this week a comprehensive information deployment to cover the epicenter of port business at Fitur 2026. The focus of our specialized coverage will be the presence of Puertos del Estado through Las Palmas and Santa Cruz de Tenerife. This will take place from the stands of Trasmediterránea, Baleària, Fred. Olsen, and MSC, among others. One of the key aspects will be understanding the agenda of Global Ports business for the period 2027-2030 and the issuance of bonds backed by debt to finance new Canary operations.
There will also be coverage of the 2025 Cruceroadicto Awards ceremony, which will take place on January 22 at the Fitur Cruises Auditorium in Madrid. We will analyze in real-time whether the Port of Las Palmas manages to revalidate its hegemony as ‘Best Port of Atlantic Europe’, after being selected as a finalist among more than a thousand international candidates.
Canarymaritime’s coverage will delve into the strategic networking meetings held by the delegation led in Tenerife by President Pedro Suárez and by Beatriz Calzada, President of the Port Authority of Las Palmas. The analysis will focus on the ability to attract new shipping companies and on the positioning of the islands as a cutting-edge logistical hub. We will provide detailed information on how efficiency in boarding processes and the port-city integration—key factors for cruise passengers—translate into real competitive advantages that consolidate the Canary Islands as the ‘heart’ of Atlantic traffic during the winter season.
Beyond the awards, our technical editorial team will monitor the latest developments in the maritime connectivity industry. We will pay special attention to the implementation of 5G port networks and satellite monitoring technologies that are revolutionizing fleet management and safety in the Central Atlantic. These advances are critical for the strategic companies based at the Port of Las Palmas and the Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where the digitization of loading operations and the optimization of smart bunkering are redefining industry efficiency standards.
The presence of strategic operators in both capital ports will be closely monitored. From next-generation container terminals to specialized naval repair centers, Canarymaritime will assess how partnerships forged at Fitur drive the arrival of new global players to the Canary facilities. The coverage will ensure our readers have a 360º view of the port business, linking institutional success in Madrid with the technological development and robustness of the business fabric in the islands.
