Each year a new record. That’s how the 11 years of the concession of the Container Terminal of Leixões can be summarized, in just five words.
Although 2010 was a year within a difficult context, the rule was followed again. TCL was thus able to handle 482,363 TEU, adding about 28 thousand TEU to the previous record, set in 2009, another tough year as well.
The growth of more than 6% (5% in number of containers with a record of 304,818 units) confirms TCL as the biggest Portuguese container terminal operator, without any doubts.
Since the beginning of the concession, in mid-2000, the Container Terminal of Leixões grew more than 70%, from 281 thousand TEU to the actual figures: 482 thousand TEU!
