There is an important fishing industry based in the port. A large, deep and safe anchorage is available, sheltered from the prevailing North winds by the Arrabida mountains. TeroMovigo helped to map the bathymetry in this harbour which improved the marine aids to navigation in the ports of Setúbal and Sesimbra in the scope of the Maritime Accessibility Improvement Project to ensure a safe navigation in harbours and access channels.
