“Exploiting the market’s potential recovery, Grupo TMM is qualified to develop expansion projects concerning hydrocarbons transportation, storage and distribution. We are continually evaluating prospective strategic alliances to achieve mutual benefits in the development of new Company projects.”

Mr. Serrano added, “Group TMM reaffirms its responsibility to its shareholders to increase its investment value. In the same way, the Company maintains its commitment to its personnel and Mexico’s economic development.”

Ports and Terminals operating profit in the second quarter of 2019 was $0.7 million, compared to $14.0 million in the same period of 2018, mainly due to a decrease in the Maintenance and Repair segment in Veracruz, partially offset by an increase of volumes of gravel in Tuxpan.
