The Container Terminal of Leixões handled 40 thousand TEU in March, 4% more than on the corresponding month of 2009.
In number of containers, TCL’s activity on the third month had a balance of 25,394 units, 3% more than a year ago.
On the balance of the first quarter, TCL accumulates 114,509 TEU handled, representing a corresponding growth of 11%. Considering the number of containers handled, during the first quarter of this year 72,290 units were handled, 7% more than on the first quarter of 2009.
It’s important to note that TCL’s activity has been growing since the beginning of the year, exceeding largely the startup figures of 2009 (which was an assumed bad year), and getting closer to 2008 figures, which had quite a strong beginning.
