“Therefore, the Company reaffirms its commitment to ensure the health and well-being of its collaborators, embarked personnel, operational personnel in localities, as well as administrative and management personnel, through the constant implementation of protocols and preventive care. Moreover, we have made significant progress in the application of NOM-035, which represents a great tool to improve the work environment, and we have implemented actions to ensure our collaborators are informed and involved.”

During the first nine months of 2020, Maritime operating profit was $37.8 million, compared to $92.0 million profit for the same period in 2019, mainly due to the disincorporation of the Tugboats business and the variety of work performed in the Shipyard segment; partially offset by costs efficiency in Offshore segment, Parcel Tankers and Bulk Carriers.

Ports and Terminals revenues in the third quarter of 2020 were $69.1 million compared to $111.6 million in the same period of 2019, mainly due to the decrease of gravel maneuvered in the port of Tuxpan by the interruption of projects in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as cancellation of calls off cruise ships attended in the Shipping Agencies segment due to the continued mobility restriction and border closure caused by the COVID-19 pandemic; partially offset by a gradual recovery of freighted cars in API Acapulco. Ports and Terminals revenue for the first nine months of 2020 was $245.4 million compared to $321.6 million reported in the same period of last year.

Ports and Terminals operating results in the third quarter of 2020 resulted in a loss of $14.4 million, compared to $9.3 million profit in the same period of 2019, mainly due to the cancelled calls of cruise ships in the Shipping Agencies segment, as well as interruption of maneuvered of gravel in the port of Tuxpan; partially offset by a larger number of cars freighted in API Acapulco by the gradual recovery in the automotive sector. During the first nine months of 2020, Ports and Terminals operating results reported a loss of $7.9 million, compared to $28.7 million profit during the same period of 2019, mainly due to the cancellation of calls of cruise ships in the Shipping Agencies segment and the decrease of freighted cars in API Acapulco as a result of the COVID-19 mobility restriction and the drop in the export activity; partially offset by the Maintenance and Repair of Containers segment in Aguascalientes y Pantaco.
