Excluding the Cebu gain and other one-off effects, the company’s net income grew by 6% to $45.1m.

Volumes grew 17% to 1.8m teus, with revenues up 19% to $248.9m as the group’s new Mexican terminal at Manzanillo and Honduran terminal at Puerto Cortes contributed their first full quarter of operations. Organic growth, excluding the new terminals, stood at 1%.

As well as the increase in volumes, ICTSI’s revenues benefited from higher storage revenues, tariff rate increases and renegotiated contracts with both lines and forwarders.

Since the end of the quarter, ICTSI has agreed to invest in Iraq's largest port, Umm Qasr, as well as entering Australia with a terminal project in Melbourne.
