Hyundai Glovis plans Philadelphia port expansion, vehicle terminal operations

Hyundai Glovis plans to expand its dedicated site at the Port of Philadelphia through 2056 and enter vehicle terminal operations in Philadelphia. The Korean logistics company signed a memorandum of understanding with PhilaPort and a local developer for additional vehicle logistics space and a dedicated car-carrier berth. Its vehicle storage capacity is expected to rise from 33,600 to 37,600 vehicles. Hyundai Glovis aims to integrate shipping, terminal operations, storage and inland transport across North America.

Hyundai Glovis has handled vehicle import and export logistics at the Port of Philadelphia since 2010.

The company opened the approximately 640,000-square-meter Southport vehicle yard in 2019 and currently operates about 1 million square meters of vehicle logistics space at the port.

The agreement covers participation in PhilaPort’s vehicle-terminal expansion and the addition of terminal operations to Hyundai Glovis’ transport and storage services.

Philadelphia helped maintain vehicle shipments after the 2024 collapse of Maryland’s Francis Scott Key Bridge disrupted operations at the Port of Baltimore.

Hyundai Glovis plans to expand into commercial vehicles, construction machinery, heavy cargo and engineering, procurement and construction project logistics.

Hyundai Glovis plans to extend its dedicated site agreement at the Port of Philadelphia through 2056 and enter the vehicle terminal operations business, expanding its role at the key logistics hub on the east coast of the United States.

The Korean company said Monday that it had signed a memorandum of understanding with the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority, known as PhilaPort, and a local developer to cooperate on port expansion and vehicle terminal operations.

The agreement includes securing an additional vehicle logistics space and extending the existing site. Hyundai Glovis plans to participate in the vehicle segment of PhilaPort’s broader expansion, securing a dedicated berth for car carriers and adding terminal operations to its existing transport and storage services.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and state and port officials attended the expansion announcement, where Hyundai Glovis was introduced as a major private-sector partner. The event outlined plans for container and vehicle terminals and public-private cooperation.

Hyundai Glovis has handled vehicle import and export logistics at the Port of Philadelphia since 2010. It expanded its presence in 2019 by opening Southport, a dedicated vehicle yard covering approximately 640,000 square meters.

The company currently operates about 1 million square meters of vehicle logistics space at the port, with capacity to store 33,600 vehicles. The new site is expected to increase that capacity to 37,600 vehicles.

Philadelphia also served as an alternative logistics hub when the 2024 collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Maryland disrupted operations at the Port of Baltimore. Hyundai Glovis said it used Philadelphia to maintain vehicle shipments.

The company plans to combine ocean shipping, terminal operations, storage and inland transport to strengthen its integrated logistics services in North America. It also intends to expand into commercial vehicles, construction machinery and other heavy cargo, alongside engineering, procurement and construction project logistics, while broadening its Atlantic shipping business.

“We plan to develop Philadelphia into a key hub in our logistics supply chain on the U.S. East Coast,” a Hyundai Glovis official said. “Through these efforts, we will provide customers with more stable and efficient integrated logistics services.”

现代格罗唯视计划在2056年前扩建其位于费城港的专属场地，并进军费城的汽车码头运营。这家韩国物流公司已与费城港务局及一家当地开发商签署谅解备忘录，拟增设汽车物流空间和一个专用汽车运输泊位。预计其车辆存储容量将从33,600辆增至37,600辆。现代格罗唯视的目标是整合北美地区的航运、码头运营、仓储和内陆运输业务。

自 2010 年以来，现代格罗维斯一直在费城港处理车辆进出口物流业务。

该公司于 2019 年开设了占地约 64 万平方米的绍斯波特车辆堆场，目前在该港口运营着约 100 万平方米的车辆物流空间。

该协议涵盖参与费城港车辆码头扩建项目，以及将码头运营业务添加到现代格罗维斯公司的运输和仓储服务中。

2024 年马里兰州弗朗西斯·斯科特·基大桥坍塌，导致巴尔的摩港的运营中断，费城帮助维持了车辆运输。

现代格罗维斯计划拓展业务至商用车、工程机械、重型货物以及工程、采购和建设项目物流领域。

现代格罗维斯计划将其在费城港的专用场地协议延长至 2056 年，并进军车辆码头运营业务，扩大其在美国东海岸关键物流枢纽的作用。

这家韩国公司周一表示，已与费城地区港务局（PhilaPort）和一家当地开发商签署了一份谅解备忘录，将在港口扩建和车辆码头运营方面展开合作。

该协议包括增设车辆物流空间并扩建现有场地。现代格罗维斯计划参与费城港整体扩张计划中的车辆运输板块，为其汽车运输船租用专用泊位，并在其现有的运输和仓储服务基础上增加码头运营业务。

宾夕法尼亚州州长乔什·夏皮罗以及州政府和港口官员出席了此次扩建项目发布会，会上现代格罗唯视（Hyundai Glovis）被介绍为主要私营企业合作伙伴。此次活动概述了集装箱和车辆码头的规划以及公私合作计划。

自 2010 年以来，现代格罗维斯一直在费城港处理车辆进出口物流业务。2019 年，该公司通过开设 Southport（一个占地约 64 万平方米的专用车辆堆场）扩大了其业务范围。

该公司目前在该港口运营着约100万平方米的车辆物流空间，可容纳33600辆汽车。新址预计将使这一容量增加到37600辆。

2024年，马里兰州弗朗西斯·斯科特·基大桥坍塌，导致巴尔的摩港运营中断，费城也因此成为替代物流枢纽。现代格罗维斯公司表示，他们利用费城来维持车辆运输。

该公司计划整合远洋运输、码头运营、仓储和内陆运输，以加强其在北美的综合物流服务。此外，该公司还计划拓展商用车辆、工程机械和其他重型货物的运输业务，以及工程、采购和施工项目物流，同时扩大其跨大西洋航运业务。

“我们计划将费城打造成为我们在美国东海岸物流供应链的关键枢纽，”现代格罗唯视的一位负责人表示。“通过这些努力，我们将为客户提供更稳定、更高效的一体化物流服务。”
