Definitely, 2012 may enter the history of the concession of the Leixões Container Terminal as the year of all records.
On the 47th week (between the 19th and the 25th of November) another record was established, precisely the one of the biggest number of containers/TEU handled. Which in fact it may well be two.
The new records are now on the 10,894 containers and on the 15,659 TEU. Hard to beat, without any doubt. However, records are made to be exceeded…
Quite intense has been kept the land flow of containers. On the 47th week TCL handled by truck or train 10,359 containers more, between the 5,086 ones which were received and 5,273 delivered.
Along the week, TCL received and operated 26 ships. The most intense day, in cargo volume, was Thursday, the 22nd November. Five ships were then operated and 1,855 containers handled (2,796 TEU). It is almost a new record.
