Consolidated revenue during full-year 2020 was $1,203.1 million compared to $1,475.7 million in the same period of 2019.

Maritime revenue in the fourth quarter of 2020 was $197.5 million. Maritime revenue for the full-year 2020 was $751.2 million, mainly due to the disincorporation of the Tugboats business, the decrease in the number of calls in Bulk Carriers, and deferred works in the Shipyard segment; partially offset by an increase of operation in the Offshore segment and larger volume transported by Parcel Tankers.

Maritime operating income in the fourth quarter of 2020 was $36.7 million. Full-year 2020 Maritime operating profit was $74.5 million, mainly due to the disincorporation of the Tugboats segment, as well as the performance in the Offshore segment and Shipyard, partially offset by a better margin in Parcel Tankers and Bulk Carriers

Ports and Terminals revenue in the fourth quarter of 2020 was $67.6 million. Ports and Terminals revenue for the full-year 2020 was $313.0 million, mainly due to the sharp drop of calls off cruise ships since mid-March because of the mobility restriction and border closure caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the interruption of gravel maneuvered in the Port of Tuxpan, partially offset by a gradual reopening of automotive plans.

Ports and Terminals operating results in the fourth quarter of 2020 reported a loss of $9.5 million. During the full-year 2020, Ports and Terminals operating results reported a loss of $17.4 million, mainly due to the decrease of operation in API Acapulco, passenger’s mobility restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the drop in the export activity, as well as the performance in the Shipping Agencies segment due to the cancellation of calls of cruise, partially offset for a larger number of maneuvers in Intermodal Terminal and Automotive due to the gradual recovery in this sector.
