For the second time in the history of the concession of the Leixões Container Terminal, TCL exceeded the 15,000 TEU barrier handled in only one week. The first time it happened on the 31st week and the result then reached – 15,344 TEU – stays an absolute record. This time, on the 43rd week (between the 22nd and the 28th of October) TCL handled a total of 15,288 TEU (9,773 containers). Along the week, TCL received and operated 25 ships. The most intense working day was Wednesday the 28th of October. Not only due to the number of operated ships – only three – but essentially due to the number of handled containers – 1,722 (2,638 TEU). With the high movement on the quay front, also on the back, on the land side, TCL has been working at a high rhythm, receiving and delivering containers by land. On the 43rd week 8,859 containers were handled, between 4,891 received and 3,968 delivered. |
