en.Wedoany.com Reported - South Korean company Hyundai Glovis will establish its first European logistics center in the Port of Amsterdam, Netherlands, for vehicle import, export, and distribution. The project follows a tripartite agreement signed by the Port of Amsterdam, Hyundai Glovis, and Koopman Logistics Group, with the facility occupying 47 hectares of the maritime terminal.
Hyundai Glovis will consolidate its international vehicle flows at the new location, centralizing vehicles previously distributed across multiple European ports into the Port of Amsterdam. The logistics center is scheduled to begin operations on January 1, 2027. The consolidation of cargo flows is expected to increase vessel calls and more intensive use of maritime and rail infrastructure. Terminal logistics operations will be managed by Koopman Logistics Group. Koen Overtoom, CEO of the Port of Amsterdam, stated: "We are building the port of the future: connected, clean, and internationally competitive. Hyundai Glovis is exactly the kind of global partner that matches this ambition."
According to the plan, the logistics center will be equipped with berths capable of simultaneously accommodating three Pure Car and Truck Carriers (PCTCs), a yard capable of storing over 20,000 vehicles, and pre-shipment quality inspection facilities. Additionally, an on-site rail connection will be built to strengthen transport links with the European hinterland. Lee Sang-jin, General Manager of Hyundai Glovis Europe, stated that the company plans to develop Amsterdam into a European automotive supply chain hub covering vehicle storage, quality inspection, shipment, and inland distribution. With European automotive import and export volumes expected to grow from 10 million vehicles in 2025 to 12.4 million in 2030, the establishment of this logistics center will provide significant support for Hyundai Glovis to strengthen its presence in the European market.
