fastest growing port in the country and the easy-

to-access and extensive highway system are

GEORGIA’S LOGISTICS ECOSYSTEM

Georgia’s premier location will be your logistical advantage with unparalleled infrastructure and

industry services. According to Area Development magazine, site selection consultants named

Georgia #1 for U.S. distribution & supply chain hubs and #2 for infrastructure and access to global

markets (2015).

BY SEAThe Georgia Ports Authority facilitates global trade through deepwater ports in Savannah

and Brunswick.

Leading in the operation of modern terminals, Georgia Ports continues to stay ahead of the curve with

its commitment to $1.4 billion in capital investment on equipment and project improvements over the

next 10 years.

With the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project, the Port of Savannah will more efficiently serve larger

New Panamax vessels, lowering transportation costs for companies that ship cargo through Savannah. This

gives a return-on-investment of more than five-to-one, and businesses could see savings of $213 million a year.

Port of Savannah

• Savannah’s Garden City Terminal is the most efficient seaport operation in North America

due to its large single-terminal design

• Dedicated on-terminal rail intermodal facilities for two Class I railroads

• Quick access to roadway connections

– Overnight service to the Southeast, the fastest-growing economy in the U.S.

– Direct high-speed truck route from terminal to I-95 and I-16

• Customer service directly to cargo owners, unique to Georgia Ports

Port of Brunswick

• Nation’s busiest seaport for new automobile imports

• Handles cargo for more than 30 auto and heavy equipment manufacturers

• Second-largest grain facility on the East Coast
