About the Montijo – Cais do Sodré crossing
Twenty-five minutes across roughly seven nautical miles of the Tagus estuary, against about 30 km by road over the Vasco da Gama bridge. TTSL runs 30 sailings a day, from 06.00 to 22.30.
Why the catamarans matter here
When catamarans replaced the older monohulls, this was the crossing that gained most: the company puts the saving at 50% off the journey time, against 30% on the Barreiro and Seixal runs. Montijo is the furthest of the commuter links, so the hull type changes the shape of the working day rather than just shaving minutes.
A line carrying a million people a year
TTSL counted 1.05 million passengers on Montijo–Cais do Sodré in 2025, out of 20.8 million across the network. Montijo is also one of the four terminals — with Seixal, Cacilhas and Cais do Sodré — being fitted with fast-charging towers for the incoming all-electric fleet, which top up the batteries during the minute or two of boarding.
