The Port of Savannah handled 504,015 twenty-foot equivalent container units in September, a record for the month and a 3.7 percent year-over-year increase. Imports rose 5.5 percent, while the fiscal first quarter topped 1.5 million units. Georgia Ports attributed part of the September push to delayed peak-season cargo from Asian ports.
Why it matters
The record shows cargo demand rising while major Savannah terminal investments are still underway.
What to watch
Watch October volume and whether the extended peak season holds after delayed Asian cargo clears.
