On a constant scope basis, and stripping out the effect of exceptional delivery contracts, volumes rose by 3%, with a strong aviation segment. New contracts production remained strong despite the knock-on effects of the hurricanes in September.

·       Africa: volumes grew by 43% to 301,000 m3 including Galana (fuel distribution) in Madagascar. At constant scope fuel and LPG volumes were stable overall while bitumen volumes continued to pick up (rising 16%) in a quiet period due to the rainy season in West Africa.
