TCL EXCEEDS THE 300 THOUSAND YOUR ON FIRST HALF 2014-07-03 It is an absolute maximum that says a lot about TCL’s dynamism and ability to attract cargo and serve an ever wider hinterland. For the first time in the concession’s history the Leixões Container Terminal has surpassed the threshold of 300 000 TEU handled in the first half. Between January and June, TCL handled 324,394 TEU! The new threshold represents an increase of 10% when compared to that achieved in the first half of 2013. Considering the number of movements (after all, the purpuse of container terminals), the 2014 performance is even more impressive, verifying an increase of 10.8% to 204,863 boxes. And it's never enough to stress out that these movements correspond almost exclusively to import and export cargo. The transhipment movements have a very low expression in Leixões Container Terminal. In June, TCL set again a maximum for the month (it has been so since the beginning of the year, each passing month, when compared with the same months in previous years), with 54,418 TEU handled. An annual gain of 9.4%, which rises to 13.6% if we consider the number of units discharged/loaded: were 34,681! |
