Above is the entrance to the Paulsboro Marine Terminal, which is operated by Gloucester Terminals a subsidiary of the Holt family’s businesses. The South Jersey Port Corporation (SJPC), a state entity, owns the Paulsboro Marine Terminal. In July 2014, it appointed Gloucester Terminals LLC (an operating company under Holt Logistics Corp.) to manage and operate it.
The Holt family successfully blocked a South Korean shipbuilding company from establishing operations at the Paulsboro Marine Terminal earlier this year. The Holt family, acting through Holt Logistics Corp., blocked the South Korean shipbuilding conglomerate Hanwha (owner of Philly Shipyard) from expanding at the Paulsboro Marine Terminal. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Hanwha had agreed to take over a lease at the terminal to solve space constraints and compete for lucrative U.S. Navy contracts. However, Holt Logistics refused to approve the deal and sued to block it, ultimately causing Hanwha to abandon the expansion plan. [1, 2]
