Hanseatic Global Terminals has become the sole owner of Florida International Terminal, LLC (FIT) following the completion of a capital structure adjustment with Grupo Empresas Navieras (GEN) through its affiliate Agunsa USA. With this transaction finalized, Hanseatic Global Terminals now holds 100% ownership of the terminal, while AGUNSA exits its minority stake as part of a strategy to streamline its portfolio and focus on core operations.
Florida International Terminal is strategically located at Port Everglades in South Florida, serving one of the largest consumer markets globally. The terminal specializes in container and general cargo handling and benefits from direct connections to major highways and rail networks, enabling efficient inland distribution and intermodal transportation across the region.
Established in 2023, Hanseatic Global Terminals operates as an independent entity within the Hapag-Lloyd Group, focusing on terminal and infrastructure investments. The company currently manages stakes in around 21 port terminals across 11 countries and five continents and aims to expand its global portfolio to approximately 30 terminals by 2030, strengthening its position as a leading terminal operator.
The acquisition of full ownership of FIT represents another step in HGT’s long-term growth strategy and reflects a broader trend among shipping companies to increase control over key logistics infrastructure. By consolidating ownership of the terminal, Hanseatic Global Terminals enhances its operational flexibility, strengthens its presence in the U.S. market, and supports more efficient and integrated supply chain solutions for its customers.
