    THE Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) handled a record 5.9 million TEU in 2022, an increase of five per cent over annual throughput from 2021, reports London's Port Technology.

    "It was a challenging year, but collaborative effort across Georgia's supply chain ensured cargo movement remained fluid," said GPA executive director Griff Lynch.

    The Port of Savannah achieved four of its top five months for container volume in 2022, with trade volumes peaking in August at an all-time high of 575,500 TEU.

    Said GPA board chairman Joel Wooten: "At Georgia Ports, we're bringing to market faster vessel service, quicker turn times for trucks, and more room to grow business."

    The Port of Savannah is set to increase its annual capacity from six million to 7.5 million TEU in 2023, and to nine million by 2025.
