The volume of containers handled by the Port of Savannah in October increased 16.7 percent to 273,296 20-foot equivalent units compared to the same month last year, the Georgia Ports Authority said.
Savannah’s Garden City Terminal handled a record 152,469 containers of all sizes in October, up 17.8 percent year-over-year. Record October container volume was driven by increases in loaded import activity, which was up 14.61 percent.
The overall total of freight handled by all Georgia ports reached a new monthly record of 2,347,260 tons, which represented an increase of 9.8 percent compared with last October.
