Hanseatic Global is now full owner of Florida International Terminal

Florida International Terminal (FIT) has officially changed hands. Now, the point of entry is owned by Hanseatic Global Terminals, a 2023-established Hapag-Lloyd subsidiary that operates as an independent entity, focusing on terminals and infrastructure.

With this transaction with Chilean firm Grupo Empresas Navieras (GEN), through its affiliate Agunsa USA, Inc. (AGUNSA), finalized, Hanseatic Global Terminals has become the sole member of FIT. According to a press release published by Hapag-Lloyd, the completed deal also aligns with AGUNSA’s strategic focus on streamlining its portfolio by exiting minority positions.

Hanseatic continues its planned expansion

The Hapag-Lloyd subsidiary reached a binding deal with AGUNSA back at the beginning of 2026 for $29.96 million. Back then, the announcement explained that the GEN-owned company would transfer its stake in FIT to Hanseatic Global Terminals, divesting from the asset as part of a reconfiguration of the terminal’s ownership.

The Florida International Terminal is strategically located in Port Everglades, South Florida, serving one of the largest consumer markets globally. The terminal specializes in container and general cargo handling and provides direct connectivity to major highways and rail networks, ensuring efficient inland and intermodal transportation and access to the region’s hinterland.

With a clear vision for 2030, Hanseatic aims to grow from 21 port terminals to approximately 30 globally, reinforcing its position as a leading terminal operator.
