New Volumes Record of Savannah Port

The Savannah Port reported the container volume record having moved a total of 4.5 million of containers in the previous year that ended on June 30th.

According to the report, the container volume increased for more than 305 thousand units, or by %7.3.

Georgia Port Authority handled more than half a million container lifts to rail, growing that number by more than 72 thousand, or 16.6 percent.

As was mentioned by the Georgia Port Authority, the investment in the Mason Mega Rail project came just in time for their capacity and helped to stay ahead of demand and ensure the free flow of intermodal cargo.

At the Port of Brunswick, more than 600 thousand autos and machinery units crossed the docks at Colonel’s Island Terminal, the main port for the import and export of cars, trucks, while roll-on/roll-off cargo volume grew by 4 % at Colonel’s Island in 2019.

Georgia Port Authority also has a program in place that will allow the Savannah Port to simultaneously handle six 14,000 TEU vessels by 2024.
The port can currently accommodate three boxships of that size.
