Maersk Line, the worldwide leader in container shipping, in December, confirmed its status as TCL largest customer for the year ended.

The Danish company was, once again, the carrier that handled more containers in TCL in the last month of 2013, this time surpassing the Nile Dutch.

In the Top 5 of December, MSC, CMA CGM and Wec Lines followed.

Cumulatively, the world's major players were, unsurprisingly, the ones that discharged/loaded more containers at Leixões. The Maersk Line led, followed by CMA CGM and MSC.

It should be noted that these three shipowners are to announce in the coming months the start of P3 alliance operations, as soon as they obtain from the competition authorities the essential authorization.

Nile Dutch and Wec Lines assured for themselves the fourth and fifth places in the ranking of TCL’s main costumers in 2013.
