Hyundai Glovis Expands Vehicle Logistics at Port of Philadelphia
What happened
Hyundai Glovis signed an agreement with the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority and a local developer to expand its vehicle logistics operations at the Port of Philadelphia. The expansion includes new vehicle handling facilities, dedicated berths, and an extension of the site lease through 2056. The company will also integrate terminal operations and increase capacity to 37,600 vehicles.

Why it matters
The expansion strengthens the Port of Philadelphia's role as a strategic alternative to other East Coast ports, particularly following disruptions at Baltimore. This move allows Hyundai Glovis to integrate ocean shipping, terminal handling, and inland transport for its vehicle shipments.
The state of Pennsylvania is providing grants and infrastructure funding for Hyundai's new car shipments through the Port of Philadelphia.
