In the first six-month period of 2018 Maritime revenues recorded $491.8 million, compared to $918.4 million reported in the same period of the previous year, mainly due to TMMDM´s deconsolidation effects, as well as improved rates in the Shipyard and an increase of clients from Bulk Carriers new business; this was partially offset by a decrease in Tugboat, due to less calls in the LNG service and the impact on Parcel Tankers by the reduction of one vessel in the operation.

Ports and Terminals operating profit in the second quarter of 2018 improved 11.2 percent to $14.0 million compared to $12.6 million in the same period of 2017 mainly due to the improvement in the Maintenance and Repair segment, partially offset by a decreased operation at Tampico Terminal and maintenance expenditures at API Acapulco.
