1. Port Overview
The Port of Savannah is located in Savannah, Georgia, on the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean. It is the fourth largest container port on the U.S. East Coast and the busiest port in the Southeast, operated by the Georgia Ports Authority. Its annual container throughput is approximately 5 million TEUs, with a water depth of 13–15 meters. After the widening of the Panama Canal, direct large vessel calls from Asia to Savannah have increased significantly, and the port has become one of the fastest-growing ports on the U.S. East Coast.
2. Port Scale and Facilities
The Port of Savannah has two main container terminals (Garden City Terminal and Ocean Terminal), with Garden City Terminal being one of the largest single container terminals in North America. The port connects to markets in the U.S. Southeast and Midwest via the BNSF, CSX, Norfolk Southern, and Union Pacific rail networks.
