Consolidated EBITDA (calculated in accordance with the definitions set out in the group s credit facilities) increased by 4.3% to 150.7m (2013: 144.5m) reflecting the favourable revenue performance partially offset by increased operating and maintenance costs associated with the increased volumes and activity.

Dredging represents third party dredging costs. Costs increased 50% to 0.9m in 2014 H1 (2013 H1: 0.6m) principally driven by an increase in the level of dredging managed by the group on behalf of a major customer. Other operating costs increased by 1.7% to 24.5m (2013 H1: 24.1m) mainly reflecting an increase in sub contractor haulage and equipment lease rentals driven by higher volumes and increased insurance costs. Decrease in costs for fuel and utilities mainly relate to decreased pilotage driven by reduced coal activity at HIT, oil volumes at IOT and in-house dredging activities. 1 Restated to reflect changes to the measurement of the fair value of derivative financial instruments and different treatment of accounting for one of the groups pension scheme Source: Company 10
