Another month went by, and another record was broken at TCL.
September was, by far, the best September of the history of the concession of the Leixões Container Terminal. In total, 31,646 containers were handled (49,262 TEU).
In both cases, regarding the corresponding month of last year, the growth reached 26%.
All this without compromising the quality of the supplied service. On the contrary. The increase in the volume of work on the quay was accompanied by the increase of the net productivity of the operations on the ship which, in September, kept at 35 movements/hour.
On the same way, even with more trucks going in and out of TCL to deliver/receive containers, the service rhythm kept extremely high: 13 minutes was the average time of service for each truck and 32 minutes was the average time of stay of each vehicle within the perimeter of the Port of Leixões. And in September there were 22,389 trucks served at TCL.
