PT LIS marks Lisbon, Portugal's capital port on the Tagus estuary and an Atlantic gateway between Northern Europe and the Mediterranean. Its container business runs across three terminals — Alcântara (Liscont, operated by Yilport), Santa Apolónia (Sotagus) and the multipurpose TSA — with a combined capacity of about 1.2 million TEU. A €123 million upgrade equipped Alcântara with four all-electric ship-to-shore cranes able to serve vessels of up to 14,000 TEU, and throughput there rose sharply through 2025. Direct services link Lisbon with Felixstowe, Hamburg, Rotterdam and Antwerp as well as Piraeus and Alexandria. Beyond boxes, the port handles grain, vehicles, breakbulk and a busy cruise trade. The hinterland centres on greater Lisbon, Portugal's largest consumption and manufacturing region, served by motorway and rail. Customs clearance is handled by Portuguese authorities within the EU framework. For pure deep-sea transhipment, Sines offers greater capacity, while Setúbal absorbs vehicle and breakbulk flows.
