In the first four months of the year, TCL handled 211,704 TEU, representing an annual growth of 11 % and a new high for the period concerned.
Between January and April, inclusive, TCL handled 133,848 containers, i.e. 11.8% more than in the same period of 2013.
The numbers speak for themselves and show the sustained growth of the Leixões Container Terminal. Without the benefit of any external disturbances, and exclusively serving the carriers/receivers input/output of cargo of an increasingly wider hinterland.
In April, TCL handled 32,959 containers (more 5% year-on-year), clearly once again surpassing the threshold of 50,000 TEU, and shortly considered "unattainable”: in April were counted 52,971.
