GLOVIS America adds 32 acres at Port Tampa Bay, room for about 10,000 vehicles
The vehicle logistics company's long-term agreement grows its port footprint to more than 80 acres, with the last phase due by the end of 2027.
TAMPA - GLOVIS America has signed a long-term agreement with Port Tampa Bay for about 32 more acres of property next to the port's berths, the company announced Nov. 9 in a release posted by the port.
The added land brings GLOVIS America's operation at the port from 48.5 acres to more than 80, about 66% more. Once finished, the terminal is expected to hold about 10,000 vehicles, including about 3,000 new storage spaces, according to the release.
The work is in two phases. Construction on the first 12 acres began in August 2026, and the other 20 acres are targeted for completion by the end of 2027. The company has also renovated a 33,000-square-foot building at the terminal, and a car wash and body shop are under development. The site is near CSX rail lines.
Port Tampa Bay says GLOVIS has helped move more than 160,000 vehicles through the port since the partnership began in 2022. Raul Alfonso, the port's executive vice president and chief commercial officer, said the company has been "instrumental in the rapid growth of our roll-on/roll-off business."
Sergio Gutierrez, chief operating officer of GLOVIS America, called Tampa "another important step" toward the company's North American vehicle logistics network.
The release does not give the length of the agreement, its dollar value or any new jobs.
