Logistics segment's Adjusted EBITDA increased to $13.5 million from $12.6 million, primarily reflecting higher transloading volumes at Convent Marine Terminal (CMT)108 - Brazil Coke segment's revenues decreased to $7.9 million from $9.4 million, and Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $2.4 million from $4.2 million, mainly due to the absence of technology fees and production bonuses109 Liquidity and Capital Resources -
