In addition to his roles as director of Boluda Maritime Terminal Las Palmas (formerly La Luz, SA Container Terminal) and finance director of shipping lines, shipping agency, maritime terminals, truck and logistics, Climent currently represents Boluda Lines in the following institutions and organizations: consultant in the Port Authority of Las Palmas, the Stevedoring Society (SAGEP) of Las Palmas and the Stevedoring Society (SAGEP) of Fuerteventura; and board member in the Canary Islands Business Association, Las Palmas Shipping Agents and Stevedores Association (Asocelpa), and the Port Enterprise Federation (Fedeport), and the Ports and Navigation Councils of the Port Authorities of Las Palmas and Tenerife.

Boluda’s investment in the Canary Islands

The Canary Islands are one of Boluda Corporación Marítima’s main entrepreneurial objectives, where they offer a wide-reaching professional portfolio of maritime services. The company currently provides the archipelago with services such as international goods transport, maritime terminals, shipping agent, logistics, freight forwarding, chartering, towing and mooring.

Through the three divisions of the company – Boluda Lines, Boluda Towage and Salvage and Boluda Tankers – this corporation has in recent decades fostered a strong commitment to present and future development in the Canarian maritime sector, due to the rich economic and human potential of the Canary Islands and its forefront position in the maritime sector.

Boluda Corporación Marítima has twenty-four years of commercial and professional symbiosis with Canary Islands, ever since chairman Vicente Boluda Fos first began maritime activity in 1994 acquiring Miller y Cía to provide shipping agency services, later expanding this investment with the purchase of Naviera Pinillos shipping line in 1997.
