Port of Savannah


Curtis J. Foltz
Executive Director, Georgia Ports Authority

"Savannah, the fastest growing port in the country over the last decade, is the largest gateway to U.S. trade in the Southeast, handling twice the cargo volume of the second busiest port in the region and with existing infrastructure capacity to double current container volumes," said GPA Executive Director Curtis Foltz. "The Federal government recently issued its Record of Decision authorizing the deepening of the harbor channel to 47 feet. The project will result in transportation cost savings by allowing larger vessels to operate more efficiently with fewer transit delays."

At the Port of Savannah, more is what we deliver every day. More efficiency. More flexibility. More choices. More services. More reach. More access. And we strive to do it all in an environment of more sustainability.
