Ports and Terminals revenue in the nine months of 2019 was $321.6 million, compared to $346.1 million in the same period of last year, mainly due to the decrease of exports activity of containers in the port of Veracruz which affected the operations in the Maintenance and Repair of Containers segment, as well the reduction of freighted cars in API Acapulco.
