|
an increase in revenues of $18.4 million and an increase in throughputs of 368,189 barrels per day resulting from our Permian Crude System acquired in May 2017;
|
•
|
an increase in revenues of $2.5 million and an increase in throughputs of 4,914 barrels per day due to higher volumes in the first quarter of 2018 on our North Pipeline due to a planned turnaround at the refinery served by that pipeline in the comparable period; and
|
•
|
an increase in revenues of $0.3 million and an increase in throughputs of 19,754 barrels per day on the McKee Systems pipelines due to higher production following a fourth quarter 2017 turnaround at the refinery served by these pipelines.
|
•
|
a decrease in revenues of $3.5 million and decrease in throughputs of 9,930 barrels per day on the Ammonia pipeline due to later winter weather in the first quarter of 2018 that hindered agriculture application; and
|
•
|
a decrease in revenues of $1.2 million and a decrease in throughputs of 2,613 barrels per day on the Eagle Ford System, mainly due to turnaround activity at a refinery in the Eagle Ford region, which offset an increase in Eagle Ford production.
|
•
|
an increase of $5.2 million in domestic revenues, mainly due to an increase in storage revenues at our Linden and Selby terminals, as well as an increase in reimbursable revenues at our Piney Point and Jacksonville terminals;
|
•
|
an increase in revenues of $2.0 million at our St. Eustatius terminal, primarily due to new contracts and rate escalations, partially offset by a decrease in revenues resulting from tanks out of service for repair following damage caused by hurricane activity in the third quarter of 2017; and
|
•
|
an increase of $1.7 million at our UK and Amsterdam terminals, mainly due to the effect of foreign exchange rates and an increase in throughput and handling fees.
|
•
|
an increase of $2.0 million in rent expense, primarily at our St. Eustatius terminal due to additional marine vessel costs;
|
•
|
an increase in salaries and wages of $1.6 million and an increase of $1.5 million in maintenance and regulatory expenses, both spread across various regions;
|
•
|
an increase of $1.3 million in reimbursable expenses at various terminals, consistent with the increase in reimbursable revenues; and
|
•
|
an increase in environmental expense of $0.8 million.
