Savannah to serve six 14,000-teu vessels simultaneously by 2024

Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) has launched its Big Berth/Big Ship programme, which will allow the Port of Savannah to simultaneously handle six 14,000 TEU vessels by 2024.

Currently, Savannah’s Garden City Terminal is equipped to handle two of these vessels and by April of this year that number will increase to three.

Griff Lynch, executive director at the GPA, said: “No other single container terminal in North America has the ability to expand berth capacity at this rate.”
