THE US port of Savannah moved a record 413,800 TEU in October, while containerised trade rose by eight per cent over the fiscal year to date (July-October), totalling 1.53 million TEU, an increase of 113,000 TEU compared to the same period last year.
"A booming economy, strong consumer confidence and an expanding customer base have resulted in record trade through the port of Savannah," said Georgia Ports Authority executive director Griff Lynch.
Last month's performance marked the 24th consecutive month of positive year-on-year growth for the southeastern gateway.
In October intermodal rail cargo grew by 8.7 per cent year on year. For the fiscal year-to-date, the port of Savannah has handled 172,416 containers by rail, an increase of 33,596, or 24 per cent compared to the same period a year ago.
"We are currently in the process of doubling Savannah's rail lift capacity to one million lifts per year to expand our market reach," Mr Lynch said.
In other news, the port's Ocean Terminal increased trade in breakbulk cargo in October. Growth of 25.8 per cent brought the total to 126,165 tonnes of commodities ranging from autos and machinery, to rubber, steel and lumber.
