APS – Administração dos Portos de Sines e do Algarve (Port Authority of Sines and the Algarve) is the Portuguese state-owned entity responsible for the management, development and regulation of the Port of Sines and the Algarve ports of Faro and Portimão. Its remit covers port planning and infrastructure, maritime operations, concession oversight, safety and security, and environmental compliance under national and EU frameworks.
The Port of Sines is Portugal’s leading deep-water Atlantic gateway and an industrial/energy hub, handling crude oil, refined products, chemicals, liquefied natural gas, other liquid and dry bulks, containers and general cargo. It hosts the country’s main LNG import terminal and serves the adjacent Sines refining and petrochemical complex, with rail and road links connecting to the Iberian hinterland and international trade routes. The Algarve ports complement this activity with regional cargo, cruise and fishing operations. Through its governance and coordination role, APS facilitates reliable, efficient port services and capacity development crucial to energy and chemical supply chains.
