Description

The Port of Aveiro is located in an inland lagoon called Ria de Aveiro (Aveiro Estuary). The port entrance (harbour) is 1.5 miles from the terminals of the North Sector (North Terminal; Container and Roll-on/Roll-off Terminal; Solid Bulk Cargo and Liquid Bulk Cargo Terminal) and 4.5 miles from the South sector (South Terminal, High Sea Fishing Port and Specialised Fisheries Terminal.

 

Aveiro Port is served by a set of non congested motorways which connect the region to the main cities of Portugal and Spain. The A1, A29 and A25 motorways allow easy connection to the port’s hinterland. The fluidity of these accesses make Aveiro Port an important node of development of Short-Sea Shipping and a driving force behind the European Motorways of the Sea project.

 

Maritime access to Aveiro harbour was stabilised to the depth of -13.20 m by June 2013 to enable the entrance of bigger ships and attract regular container or Roll-on/Roll-off traffic lines. To boost its trading relations with Spain, Aveiro Port is integrated into the Trans-European A-62/AP1 corridor of the logistical network of Castilla y Léon. Weekly rail service of the railway links Aveiro to the Northern line (Portugal) and to Spain via Beira Alta line.
