This new terminal will be comprised of a pier (two projected alternatives) and an embankment that will accommodate both a containers park and a logistics zone. Interventions in the river will include: dredging of a navigation channel to access the terminal and dredging of a manoeuvre basin and a dockage basin (each comprising two projected alternatives).<\/p>\n<p>The positive evolution of the number of containers circulating through the Lisbon port in the last few decades, along with the crescent over-sizing of the cargo ships and the predicted growth of the maritime transport sector worldwide has motivated several studies and analysis to determine the best location for a <strong>new containers\u2019 terminal in Lisbon<\/strong>. The three existing containers\u2019 terminals in Lisbon account for 744,000 TEU annually, but numbers are expected to rise to 2.7 million TEU\/annually, by 2048. The new Barreiro containers\u2019 terminal should account for 1.1 million TEU (phase 1, pier of 800\u00a0m) and 2.1 million TEU (phase 2, pier of 1,500\u00a0m).<\/p>\n<p>Nemus has taken part in the <strong>Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)<\/strong> of this project.
