Study on Vasco da Gama Terminal in Sines should be completed in April.

The market study concerning the future Vasco da Gama Terminal at the Port of Sines is expected to be completed during the month of April, a step considered important for the preparation of a new international tender for this infrastructure.

The objective of this work is to assess market interest more rigorously, understand the expectations of port operators and shipowners, and define a model better adjusted to the current reality of the sector. The intention is to create conditions for the project to advance on more solid ground, after the previous attempt failed to generate any proposals. Completion of this study should pave the way for the preparation of new technical and contractual documentation, essential for relaunching the process. The timeline for this next step places the possible launch of a new tender between the end of 2026 and the beginning of 2027. The Vasco da Gama Terminal continues to be viewed as a strategic investment for the growth of the Port of Sines, particularly in container handling.

The realization of this project could strengthen installed port capacity, increase the competitiveness of the Alentejo port, and consolidate its position in major international logistics chains. At the same time, the current framework for port concessions could make the investment more attractive, by allowing longer time horizons for large-scale projects with strong financial requirements.
