CONTAINERS LEVERAGE PORTS RECORDS 2014-08-06 The movement of goods in national ports continues to break records at each passing month, sustained by the strong growth in containerized cargo. In the first six months of the year, the major Continent’s ports handled 39.9 million tonnes, representing a year-on-year gain of 3.4%. The containerized cargo has increased the most - 14.8% to 13.4 million tonnes - having thereby strengthening its leadership condition and motor of the national port activity. Between January and June, passed by national ports 1,217,840 million TEU, 17.4% more than in the same period of 2013. The Port of Leixões grew 4.3% in the first half to a record 8.8 million tonnes. The movement of containers at TCL reached 327,597 TEU, representing a jump of 10.3% over the previous historic maximum. It should be noted that these containers are fundamentally export-import, since TCL is not a transhipment terminal. |
