Setúbal is an important commercial and industrial port located on the Sado Estuary south of Lisbon, with access to the Atlantic Ocean. Ship traffic includes vehicle carriers, container and general cargo vessels, bulk carriers, tankers and other commercial ships serving the port's terminals and nearby industries. Fishing vessels, tugs, ferries and smaller harbor craft add to the variety of traffic visible around the estuary.

Vehicle shipping is particularly significant at Setúbal, with roll-on/roll-off vessels calling to transport automobiles manufactured in the surrounding region. The port also handles containers, bulk commodities, general cargo and other freight through specialized terminals located along the waterfront.

Vessels approaching or departing Setúbal navigate the Sado Estuary between the city and the Tróia Peninsula before reaching the open Atlantic. Local ferries crossing between Setúbal and Tróia, fishing activity and ships maneuvering to and from the commercial terminals make the Setúbal ship tracker useful for following both international shipping and local maritime traffic.
