LEIXÕES

Leixões is the largest seaport in northern Portugal and one of the country’s most important marine terminals. As one of the most competitive and versatile multipurpose ports in Portugal, it represents 25% of the Portuguese seaborne foreign trade and handles over 18 million tons of commodities annually. The Port of Leixões and its container terminal are integral parts of the European port system, playing a key role in international logistics.

Positioned on the Atlantic façade of the Iberian Peninsula, the port serves as a crucial inter-regional hub and a reference point for global and regional supply chains. Mainly a gateway terminal, Leixões focuses on shortsea shipping while maintaining strong connections to major European port hubs. The terminal also attracts deep-sea lines through value-added operations, aligning with shifts in the global logistics paradigm.

Leixões is committed to assuring efficient operations and meeting the market’s needs in cargo handling, prioritizing investment in human resources and technology. The terminal operates across 2 different physical platforms within the Port of Leixões: the North Terminal and the South Terminal.
