Amports has spent the last couple of years increasing capacity and services in North America’s vehicle handling ports, something that stood it in good stead to manage volatility last year
At the end of last year, North American finished-vehicle processor Amports bought the port operations formerly run by Horizon Terminal Services (HTS). In doing so, Amports increased its vehicle processing operations at the port of Jacksonville in Florida and added Port Everglades (Florida) and Freeport (Texas) to its portfolio. It now has terminal operations at nine ports in the US and Mexico, and is one of the largest finished vehicle processors in North America, providing vehicle processing, rail yard management, inspection, storage, and pre-delivery inspection services.
In addition to the acquisition of HTS, Amports has added capacity to existing locations in Jacksonville, Baltimore and Benicia over the last couple of years, which allowed it to quickly adjust to the volatility in vehicle movements through North America over the previous 18 months.
