CEMEX is reportedly ignoring a federal court order mandating their vacate of the property, while the Mexican government unlawfully disrupts Vulcan's quarrying and shipping operations. Vulcan asserts ownership of the facilities and has not authorized CEMEX's use of their property.
Vulcan Materials Company (NYSE: VMC) reported that CEMEX (NYSE: CX) forcibly occupied its port facilities in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, as of March 14, 2023. CEMEX's previous lease agreement with Vulcan expired on December 31, 2022, and there is no current contract allowing CEMEX's use of the property. Vulcan has been open to renegotiations, but CEMEX resorted to threats involving the Mexican military and police instead. A Mexican federal court has ordered CEMEX to vacate the property, yet operations remain halted. Vulcan asserts legal ownership of the properties, including the port concession.
Cemex has a longstanding agreement with Calica, a subsidiary of Vulcan Materials, to utilize a marine terminal in Playa del Carmen for cement transport. However, since late 2022, Cemex faced access issues to the terminal. Following unsuccessful negotiations, Cemex filed a lawsuit that resulted in a local court granting injunctive relief for access to the terminal. Despite Calica's non-compliance, Cemex secured further legal relief from Quintana Roo’s authorities. On March 14, 2023, the authorities enforced this relief, allowing Cemex to resume operations at the terminal.
