Net income of Navios Maritime Holdings plunged through the fourth quarter as time charter rates fell and costs increased.

Time charter rates dropped by more than 18% but depreciation and amortisation, interest and finance costs as well as drydock and special survey expenses all rose.

The impact was that net income for the three months fell to $11.8m compared to $57.5m through the same period of last year.
