ABSTRACT
The Portuguese government has recently unveiled a study on the priority transport infrastructures for the country (GTIEVA 2013). This study identifies the ports, railway lines and airports which are seen as priorities for the country. Among the priority projects, many are port related projects, including a number of container terminals, as well as improvements in sea approaches to ports and interconnections with road and rail networks. Examples of proposed projects are the expansion of a container terminal in Leixões, the expansion of Terminal XXI in Sines, a new deep water terminal in Lisbon and the improvement of efficiency of existing terminals in Lisbon.
