MAY WAS THE BEST MONTH OF YEAR AT LEIXÕES 2014-06-25 May was, by far, the best month of the year for the Port of Leixões, with 1.7 million tonnes handled. In annual terms, the result reached in May represents an increase of 36.4%. In the first five months of the year balance, Leixões sums 7.5 million tonnes handled. A gain of 5% when compared to 2013 and a new all-time record. The containerized cargo remains as one of the growth engines of the activity at Leixões, reaching the 536,000 tonnes in May (4.9% more) and 2.7 million tonnes since the beginning of the year (7%). It is also worthy of register the exponential growth of the ro-ro cargo (already worth 140 billion tonnes, eight times more than a year ago), whereas much of this cargo is also handled by TCL. Until the end of May, the bulk liquid cargo sums 3.3 million tonnes (5%), the bulk solids represent 877,000 tonnes (13% less) and the fractional general cargo reaches the 428,000 tonnes (1%). |
