Portugal’s capital
is Lisbon. This city is the leading economic driver, with a growing financial
sector and one of the major ports on Europe’s Atlantic coast. When you think of
Portugal, the first thing comes to our mind is Christopher Columbus who
discovered the New World for Europe. Since the age of discovery, Lisbon has
been a harbor of departure. The port of Lisbon has helped to support the
country’s presence on the worldwide stage. The port of Lisbon
primarily deals with the strategies of major shipping operators, who actually
determine the geometry of the world’s sea transportation networks. According
to the logistics systems, the new port of Lisbon is significantly expanding the
Lisbon region up to the uppermost level, which will be based on advanced
technologies, alongside plans for the new Lisbon Airport and the high speed
train.
In addition, Portugal’s trade links with direct services to Canada, the U.S,
Brazil, Uruguay, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, and many European ports.
Why the Lisbon Metropolitan Area is such an importance city today? The
Lisbon metropolitan area is of such central importance today, since Lisbon is
considered as a global city because of its importance in finance as well as
international trade. In my opinion, it seems like the port of Lisbon has
well played a significant role in logic, regional, and national development. If
the port of Lisbon is to carry on in its role of national development and it
will have to be a modern, economical path, which means greater focus not only
at port operations, but the whole logistical chain. In the future, the port of
Lisbon shall contribute to the creation of a riverside identity in the area,
support Lisbon to take its place as a European and Atlantic metropolitan area,
and strengthen Portugal’s economic competitiveness .
