South Korean logistics company Hyundai Glovis said Wednesday that it had opened a vehicle-storage space at Southport Yard inside the Port of Philadelphia, where new Hyundai, Kia and Genesis cars will arrive before they are shipped off to dealerships in the US.
With the opening of the new facility which spans over 1 square kilometer of land, some 36,000 vehicles will be unloaded and stored at Southport Yard off of the ships for checking before imported to the US.
