Los resultados de las políticas aplicadas a un determinado sector no se miden por lo adornado de los planes y estrategias diseñadas y presentadas con un determinado horizonte, sino por los resultados obtenidos. En el caso de la marina mercante española, los datos son de sobra elocuentes como para NO tener que entrar en debates superfluos. La política marítima española de marina mercante, que no es lo mismo que la de transporte marítimo, en la que se incluyen también los servicios prestados por buques extranjeros, no merece más calificativo que de auténtico fracaso. Un fracaso que se gesta a principios de los años noventa del pasado siglo, y se identifica con la famosa ley de Puertos y Marina Mercante de 1992, actualmente (Real Decreto Legislativo

The scale of global shipping in 2025 is nothing short of extraordinary. As trade volumes grow and decarbonisation efforts accelerate, the world’s leading carriers are deploying record-breaking vessels that redefine what’s possible at sea.
Ultra-large container vessels (ULCVs) represent the pinnacle of maritime engineering. At approximately 400 metres in length and over 60 metres in beam, they are designed to maximise economies of scale on major global trade routes.
Many of these vessels are further equipped with advanced technology, including hybrid scrubbers, air lubrication systems to reduce hull friction, and emissions-reduction capabilities.

Effective immediately in terms of participation and funding, the decision reflects a reassessment of how the United States engages with multilateral institutions.. While the practical consequences will unfold over time, the structural direction is already clear..
This is not an event that disrupts supply chains overnight.. However, it is a signal that trade professionals, policymakers, and business leaders should not overlook, particularly in an environment already shaped by geopolitical uncertainty, regulatory divergence, and evolving trade priorities..
