Savannah harbour expansion closer

Georgia Ports Authority’s (GPA) executive director, Curtis Foltz described the release of the study as a significant step forward for the project, which addresses a critical need of the country’s transportation infrastructure.

As the fastest growing and fourth largest strategic container port in the USA, the Port of Savannah is responsible for moving 8.3% of the US containerised cargo volume and more than 18% of all East Coast container trade in FY2010.

The port boasts a uniquely balanced export-import ratio, handling 12% of all US containerised exports, representing a total of 1.14m teu.
