Port of Savannah to create new rail connection with St Louis as part of US$3bn investment
The Port of Savannah has partnered with the St Louis Regional Freightway to create a new connection between the St Louis region and a new US$220m rail terminal as part of the port’s US$3bn investment.
The investment is a response to the port’s recent growth as, in 2017, it recorded a throughput of 4.3m teu and through the US$3bn investment it hopes to increase containerised cargo capacity from 5m to 8m teu by 2028.
To help boost this the rail terminal will double terminal rail lift capacity to approximately 1m containers per year and is expected to be the largest on-terminal rail facility in North America by 2020.
