Around 4.44 million tonnes of cargo passed through Aveiro in the first nine months of 2025, up 6% and the port's best run since 2022, confirming Portugal's fifth-largest port as a bulk and breakbulk specialist rather than a box hub. The port handles dry and liquid bulk, breakbulk, RoRo and project cargo, with cement and clinker its single largest category at about 42%, ahead of paper pulp, general cargo and liquid chemicals; grain and metal products lead imports. Dedicated terminals include a 450-metre RoRo berth at 11 m depth, liquid and solid bulk terminals and fishing quays. The hinterland — rich in ceramics, chemicals, wine and wood — is served by the A25 motorway and the Ramal do Porto de Aveiro rail link toward Spain. Nationally, Aveiro ranks first for breakbulk and among the leaders for agrifood and chemical products. For meaningful container volumes, shippers turn to nearby Leixões (Porto) or Lisbon.
