About the Belém – Trafaria crossing
Four sailings a day across roughly two nautical miles, 13.30 to 22.00, taking about fifteen minutes. Note the shape of it: nothing before half past one in the afternoon, and the last boat at ten at night.
An afternoon and evening service
The opposite direction runs from 06.42 to 15.12 — morning and early afternoon. Put together, the two halves make a single working pattern rather than a route you can use in both directions at any hour. If you are crossing to Trafaria before lunch, the boat goes via Porto Brandão instead.
Part of a 375,000-passenger corridor
The Trafaria–Porto Brandão–Belém group carried 375,000 people in 2025, the smallest of TTSL's five corridors. Across the whole network the company ran 128,247 sailings that year with 95.6% regularity.
