About Lisbon
Lisbon sits on the Tagus estuary and serves the Portuguese capital and the centre of the country. It handles containers alongside general cargo and cruise traffic, with terminals on both banks of the river. For cargo destined north of Coimbra, Leixões is usually the better routing.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Lisbon — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 6–9 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider Portugal lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
