Hanseatic Global Terminals takes full ownership of Florida International Terminal
Hanseatic Global Terminals has completed the capital structure adjustment of Florida International Terminal, LLC (FIT), becoming the sole owner of the U.S.-based terminal operator. The transaction marks the exit of AGUNSA USA, Inc., part of Grupo Empresas Navieras, in line with its strategy to streamline its portfolio and divest minority stakes.
In brief
Hanseatic Global Terminals has become the sole owner of Florida International Terminal, LLC after its partner AGUNSA USA, Inc. of Grupo Empresas Navieras withdrew. Florida International Terminal operates in Port Everglades in southern Florida and handles container and breakbulk cargo with direct access to the road and rail network. Hanseatic Global Terminals, operating since 2023 as an independent entity within Hapag-Lloyd, plans to increase the number of terminals it manages from 21 to around 30 by 2030. The value of the transaction was not disclosed.
Located at Port Everglades in South Florida, Florida International Terminal serves one of the world’s largest consumer markets. The facility handles both containerized and general cargo and benefits from direct access to major highway and rail networks, enabling efficient inland distribution and intermodal connectivity across the region.
The acquisition is consistent with the long-term growth strategy of Hanseatic Global Terminals, which has operated as an independent entity within Hapag-Lloyd since 2023. The company aims to expand its global terminal portfolio from 21 facilities today to approximately 30 by 2030, strengthening its position as a leading terminal and infrastructure operator.
Full ownership of FIT enhances Hanseatic’s operational control and strategic flexibility in the North American market, particularly in a key logistics hub such as Port Everglades. At the same time, AGUNSA’s exit reflects a broader industry trend of portfolio optimization among shipping and logistics players.
The value of the transaction has not been disclosed.
