Liscont Terminal’s growth fuelled by investment

In April 2025, the terminal’s throughput hit 23,020 teu, a 35% increase over April 2024. In addition, cargo capacity rose 42% from March to April this year, underscoring how port investments are paying off.

“This positive performance is the result of a combination of structural and operational factors, driven by a significant investment in infrastructure,”  said the terminal in statement.

”It also features strong integration with the rail network, enabling greater efficiency and logistical intermodality, improving connectivity, reducing the carbon footprint and maintaining a focus on lowering costs for customers.”

State-of-the-art

Between January and April 2025, Yilport Liscont processed 75,493 teu, up nearly 25% year-on-year, with exports accounting for 52% and imports 48%.

Investments have included spending on advanced handling technology, the creation of nine regular service lines to major international hubs and robust rail connections, including the newly launched shuttle to Alverca.

Currently, Yilport Liscont is undergoing a major expansion, part of its long-term port construction strategy to increase cargo capacity and enhance terminal logistical efficiency further. This includes demolishing outdated buildings for more storage space.

In parallel, a new operations building is under construction. The new infrastructure will be located in an area previously used as a heavy vehicle parking lot, which is being redeveloped to ensure improved organisation, functionality and future capacity.

The expansion is set to complete in 2026.
