Tuesday the 20th of December, TCL will reach the 500,000 TEU barrier, handled in just one year. Another record, which will duly be distinguished at the terminal, with a ceremony promoted by TCL and APDL.
The 500,000 TEU mark is somewhat unprecedented for TCL as well as for the Port of Leixões. Besides, it is also an absolute national record, since so far no other container terminal in the country has handled half a million TEU in just one year.
For TCL, reaching 500,000 TEU this year represents also the accomplishment of the proposed scopes , in spite of the difficulties of the port-maritime sector at international level.
The result just reached confirms TCL as the biggest national container terminal operator, ensuring the 12th consecutive record in 12 years of the concession.
