The Port of Savannah plans a $410 million overhaul of one of its sprawling terminals to make room for loading and unloading larger ships while focusing its business almost exclusively on cargo shipped in containers.
In this photo provided by the Georgia Ports Authority, three vessels work to load and unload cargo at the Georgia Ports Authority Ocean Terminal, June 24, 2022 in Savannah, Ga. On Monday, Dec. 5, 2022 the Georgia Ports Authority announced it will start remodeling the docks at Ocean Terminal in January 2023 to handle two large container ships simultaneously. The work will begin to transition the 200-acre facility to a container-only operation.
It means major changes for Savannah's 200-acre Ocean Terminal, which currently handles most of Georgia’s breakbulk cargo such as lumber, paper and steel. Those operations will move during the next year to the Port of Brunswick about 70 miles south of Savannah. That resulted in Savannah handing a record 5.8 million container units of imports and exports across its docks in the 2022 fiscal year that ended June 30. That volume was just shy of Savannah's current capacity of 6 million container units.
“This is going to get us back to more of a normal schedule as far as capacity, where we try to stay at about 80% so we’ve go room for growth,” said Joel Wooten, the port authority's board chairman. “It's going to help the state of Georgia and the whole Southeast.”
