Operated under a YILPORT concession, Figueira da Foz sits at the mouth of the Mondego River and serves as the maritime outlet for central Portugal's paper, ceramics and construction industries. Its General Cargo Terminal (462 m of quay) handles paper pulp, steel and timber, while a separate Solid Bulk Terminal (420 m) takes clay, limestone, gypsum and coal, backed by a dedicated liquid-bulk berth. The port moves roughly 430 vessels and about 1.9 million tonnes of cargo a year. This is a breakbulk and dry-bulk facility rather than a container gateway, so liner-box traffic is not part of its offer. Ongoing dredging is set to admit ships of up to 160 m length and 8 m draft. Shippers needing container services or deeper water typically route through nearby Aveiro or the deep-sea terminals at Leixões near Porto.
