National ships and vessels, with the exception of those belonging to the Navy, are mandatorily subject to registration of ownership, abbreviated to registration, so that they can carry out the activity that determines their classification. 

Classification of vessels as to their intended activity, vessels of the national navy, including those of the State not belonging to the Navy, to internal security forces and services and to other State bodies with maritime surveillance powers, in accordance with the activities for which they are intended, are classified as set out bellow:

(a) Trade / Commerce
(b) Fishing 
(c) Leisure / Recreational 
(d) Tugs
(e) Research 
(f) Auxiliaries 
(g) Others belonging to the State.

The vessels referred to in (a), (b), (d) and (f) constitute the merchant navy and are called merchant vessels. 

Merchant vessels are also subject to compulsory commercial registration under the legislation in force.

Which entity is competent to register a vessel?  

O registo dos navios e embarcações nacionais é feito nas repartições marítimas, podendo os navios de comércio ser registados nos organismos indicados na legislação em vigor e, naqueles que, em Portugal continental e nas regiões autónomas dos Açores e da Madeira, vierem a ser fixados em Portaria do Governo. 

The registration of national ships and vessels is carried out at the maritime offices, while commercial vessels can be registered in the bodies indicated in the legislation in force and in those that, in mainland Portugal and in the autonomous regions of the Azores and Madeira, will be established by Government Order. 

In the case of new acquisitions or new constructions, the maritime office indicated in the respective authorization issued by the Maritime Administration is responsible for registration.

The ship repair sector is historical in the Port of Lisbon and remains well alive and in continuous demand.

The dynamism of the sector is due to the credibility, versatility and know-how of the shipyards based at the port.

From Navalrocha in Lisbon with its dry docks as a differentiating factor, to the technical capacity of Arsenal do Alfeite, the innovation in new constructions by Navaltagus, or the specialization of Batistas shipyards in dismantling and Cecílio&Carlos Sanfins in repair, the Port of Lisbon is an important hub of national naval industry and an international reference in the sector.

In terms of operation, ship repair activity throughout the port is subject to specific port regulations.

Repair work taking place outside shipyards, including those carried out by the crew itself, requires a prior request for authorization to be made via JUP (PSW-Port Single Window), or by email by means of an appropriate form for vessels not included in this platform. See Tariffs and Regulations - Services to vessels - Ship repair for standards and forms.

The Port of Lisbon has implemented a ship waste management system, which aims to reduce waste dumping at sea, encouraging its delivery to the port, thus complying with Decree-Law No. 165/2003 of 24 July.

The Plan for the Reception and Management of Ship-generated Waste and Cargo Residues, known as PRGR2017-2019, is the supporting document for the management of ship waste and cargo waste at the Port of Lisbon, establishing for this purpose:

  • the legislation applicable in this field;
  • procedures for the management of ship-generated waste and cargo residues;
  • the responsibilities of those involved in the process;
  • the tariff regime;
  • the documentation of the system.

PRGR2017-2019 covers ships operating and calling at port, including recreational, fishing and warships, and applies to all types of waste produced on board and to cargo residues.

The collection of ship waste at the Port of Lisbon is guaranteed by operators contracted or licensed by APL, depending on the type of waste to be collected, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The collection of solid waste assimilated to urban waste is carried out by BLUEOTTER, under a concession for a period of 8 years, in force since 1st July 2013.

Hydrocarbon waste or waste contaminated with hydrocarbons, waste water and hazardous waste is collected by operators licensed by APL, which meet the requirements of the "Regulation for the collection of hydrocarbon waste, waste water and hazardous waste from vessels at the Port of Lisbon".
