Port activities are developed on both banks of the river. On the Northern bank, the handling of containerised cargo, Roll-on/Roll-off and the majority of breakbulk cargo is concentrated. On the South bank, various terminals specialised in liquid and solid bulk can be found.

The marinas which are located on the North bank of the River Tagus – the Alcântara Dock, the Santo Amaro Dock and the Bom Sucesso Dock – have a capacity for more than 1100 vessels.

The port is equipped with three cruise terminals – the Alcântara Terminal, the Rocha Conde de Óbidos Terminal and the Santa Apolónia Terminal –, all of which are located on the North bank of the River Tagus, surrounded by the historical and cultural centre of Lisbon, which is a unique advantage for those who visit the city.
