31 Jan 2025 / Georgia ports, United States
The Georgia Ports Authority handled more than 2.8 million TEUs in fiscal year-to-date 2025 (July 1-Dec. 31), an increase of 11.4% or nearly 300,000 TEUs in the Port of Savannah. In December, GPA handled more than 442,000 TEUs, an increase of 4.7% or 19,850 TEUs compared to December 2023…
…The Appalachian Regional Port (ARP) also helped boost GPA’s performance, with an increase of 4,368 TEUs fiscal year-to-date or 13.5% over the previous period. December volumes were 6,084 TEUs an increase of 20.6% over the previous period.
The Garden City West Terminal storage yard will see its cars in containers project come to completion in February 2025 as the customer shifts cargo to RoRo service in the Port of Brunswick.
Four new ship-to-shore cranes from the Finland-based company, Konecranes arrived at the port on January 25, 2025 for installation.
Other projects include the Blue Ridge Connector in Gainesville, GA which is 50% complete and opens in 2026 as an inland port, serving a fast-growing region. And, a $40 million expanded U.S. Customs inspection facility, financed by GPA that doubled in size and opens in March 2025 to support faster service within Garden City Terminal. The other major project is the Savannah Container Terminal which is currently in the permit process…
…In autos and heavy equipment, GPA handled 443,763 units of Ro/Ro cargo, an increase of 7.5% or 31,125 units fiscal year-to-date at the Port of Brunswick. In December, 69,000 units of Roll-on/Roll-off cargo were handled, a decrease of 7% or 5,200 units. (These numbers reflect total RoRo at Colonels Island- autos, machinery, static cargo, boats, vehicles).
GPA completed $262 million in improvements at the Port of Brunswick in 2024, adding new warehousing and processing space, as well as 122 acres of Ro/Ro cargo storage. Construction has started on a new railyard on Colonel’s Island, while a fourth Ro/Ro berth is in the engineering phase. Colonel’s Island was also the new site for the official opening of Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s new Southeast port hub on January 21, 2025.
The Mayor’s Point operation in Brunswick handled 22.5k tons in December, up 33.8%, and 164.7k tons in fiscal year-to-date 2025, up 61.4% compared to FYTD2024.
Supported by 189.1% growth in December, bulk cargo at East River Terminal & Lanier Dock was up 44.9% to 793.5k tons in FYTD2025, mainly due to increased exports of wood pellets and peanut pellets.
