Our Ports

The Douro Navigable Waterway (DNW), spanning approximately 210 kilometers from the mouth of the Douro River to Barca D'Alva, serves as a transportation route connecting Portugal's coastal and inland regions, as well as Spain. The 125-meter elevation difference along the Douro River between the sea and Barca D'Alva is overcome by five locks.
