The Container Terminal of Leixões is present at the International fair of Alger, which is being held in the Algerian capital until the 7th of June.
This is the first time TCK presents itself on the Algerian market. The participation on the fair, the biggest in that North African country, is done in partnership with APDL, and integrates itself in the strategy of international promotion of the Port of Leixões established by the port administration and by the main concessionaires.
The International fair of Alger has been already held for 43 years. In last year’s edition, it gathered more than 1,300 exhibitors, two thirds of which foreigners, and received around 200 thousand visitors.
The commercial trade between Portugal and Algeria has had a rapid growth; however, the commercial balance clearly favours the African country, due to natural gas supply.
The presence of the Port of Leixões at the International fair of Alger follows closely the realization in Leixões of the Maghreb’s Conference, in which TCL was also present.
In Alger, the representation of both TCL and the Port of Leixões integrates in Portugal’s Pavilion, organized by ICEP.
