It’s official. Three weeks ahead the end of the year TCL has already exceeded the handling record of containers conquered in 2009.
It happened during the 50th week, when 5,704 containers were handled (8,806 TEU).
Last year, TCL handled 454,503 TEU and entering December, this year, it had already added up to 441,164. There were only 13,339 missing. It’s done.
This result ensures TCL sets its 11th consecutive record on container handling in Leixões.
From this point on and until the end of the year, it’s just a matter of waiting for the definitive result, in both absolute and relative terms, which will surely confirm TCL as the biggest national container terminal operator.
