As good as TCL, the Port of Leixões had in March its best month ever.
In March 1.6 million tons of goods were handled.
An absolute record which pushed to about 4 million tons the cargo handled on the first quarter. 12% more than the figures registered on the start of 2010.
Once again, exportations were the main lever to the good results reached on the term, with a special evidence of the expeditions to Angola, which made a progress of 40% in corresponding terms.
The containerized cargo gave a special contribution to the good results of the Port of Leixões, with an accumulated increase of 14% in tonnage. Only on March, TCL handled 44,708 TEU, constituting a new maximum record in the concession.
