In the first seven months of the year, the port of Leixões grew by 1.4%, in contrast to the general drop in cargo handling in mainland ports (4.1% year-on-year).

More than that, the 11.4 million tonnes processed in Leixões between January and July constitute a new historical maximum of the port for the period in question.

For the exceptional performance of Leixões a lot contributes Yilport, both in containers and ro-ro cargo.

In the handling of containers, the Port of Leixões is the only one to grow (1%) in homologous terms, with 367,678 TEU in the accumulated of seven months. The national total accounted for a year-on-year loss of 5.7%.

In ro-ro, Leixões consolidates its leadership in ro-ro cargo handling, "due to" the regular line that calls the port and is operated by Yilport.
