The decrease in volume was primarily due to the decline in trade activities which resulted from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on global trade and lockdown restrictions. 
Excluding the contribution of ICTSI Rio, the company’s new terminal in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, consolidated organic volume would have decreased 4% in the first nine months of 2020.
