SAVANNAH, Ga. — The Georgia Ports Authority achieved record container volumes in 2015, GPA Executive Director Curtis Foltz reported to its board in January.
During the last calendar year, the Port of Savannah moved an all-time high 3.73 million twenty-foot equivalent container units (TEUs), an increase of 391,356 TEUs, or 11.7 percent compared to 2014.
"The expansion was fueled in part by heightened demand in the U.S. Southeast, Savannah's logistical advantages drawing new customers to Georgia, and cargo diverted from the West Coast," Foltz said.
Total tonnage across all terminals reached a record 31. . .
