On the first five months of the year, TCL handled 228,585 TEU, 8.3% more than in the corresponding period of 2011.
Considering the number of units handled since January – 146,522 – the obtained growth is still more expressive, reaching 9.4%.
In May, TCL achieved another excellent result. It handled 48,461 TEU, which means 9.9% more than a year ago: or 31,383 containers, a corresponding increase of 11.8%.
On the five months already accomplished of 2012, TCL achieved many more positive results, exceeding largely the already good performance reached on the same period last year.
In a moment of serious difficulties for the national economy, Iberian and international, TCL has managed to serve the carriers of its area of influence, especially the exporters, leveraging its businesses. And it has equally managed to captivate the ship-owners – national and international – who look at the Leixões Container Terminal as a port with high operationality.
In conclusion: TCL is well directed to achieve the proposed results to the actual financial year.
