Setúbal up 5% in Q1 2019-05-10

Grupo Sapec and Grupo Barraquiero have opened TLA Terminal Logístico Automóvel to serve the Port of Setúbal’s new cars traffic

Carlos Vasconcelos, president of Portuguese rail operator Medway, has said that the proposed Barreiro Terminal on the Tagus River is not a good solution for the Port of Lisbon.

The Port of Setúbal has been boosted by the introduction of a new lo-lo service from W.E.C Lines

Portugal’s Port of Setúbal Authority (APSS) is carrying out work to enhance the port’s ro-ro capabilities, the port already being the country’s leading port for new car exports and imports.

The Port of Setúbal handled 156,000 TEU in lo-lo in 2016, almost 30% up on 2015 and an all-time record

Ana Paula Vitorino, Portugal’s minister of the sea, also revealed plans to deepen the draught in the Sado River to 15m, to allow large container ships to reach the Port of Setúbal.
