Shipbuilding


In September 1961 Lisnave - Estaleiros Navais de Lisboa expanded on the South bank of the Tagus where a new yard - Margueira, was built with facilities to accommodate the largest vessels being built. In mid 1997 a restructuring plan was implemented, resulting in the closure of operations at Cacilhas in 2000. All activities are now concentrated in Mitrena, Setubal.[4]


Maritime Heritage


Dom Fernando II e Glória a wooden-hulled, 50 gun frigate of the Portuguese Navy is on display in a dry dock beside the transport interchange. In 1990 the Portuguese Navy decided to restore the ship to her appearance in the 1850s. She has been on display at Cacilhas since 2008. A submarine is also on display in the adjoining dry dock.
