Georgia Ports Authority Launches $4.5 Billion Capital Program
Georgia Ports Authority announced a $4.5 billion capital program after handling 5.7 million TEUs and 545,214 rail containers in 2025.
The Georgia Ports Authority handled 5.7 million twenty-foot equivalent units at the Port of Savannah during 2025, an increase of 2.6 percent compared to 2024 volumes. A new annual record for intermodal rail cargo was established within this period, with 545,214 containers moved. This was the fifth consecutive year that the port’s rail lifts exceeded 500,000 units.
Operational metrics for 2025 show a reduction in the average time required to transfer a container from a vessel to an outbound train. The vessel-to-rail dwell time at the Port of Savannah was lowered to 22 hours from a previous average of 28 hours. The port’s on-dock rail facilities are served by Class I railroads CSX and Norfolk Southern Railway.
A $4.5 billion capital improvement program is in progress to support capacity growth. The plan allocates funding for five new container berths in Savannah and a new roll-on/roll-off berth in Brunswick. The program also includes the development of the Blue Ridge Connector inland rail terminal in Gainesville, Georgia, which is scheduled to begin operations in mid-2026.
