A 1,345-acre single-operator container terminal — Garden City, the largest in the United States — anchors the Port of Savannah, the principal container gateway of the U.S. Southeast. Sited about 30 km up the Savannah River in Georgia, it handled close to 5.7 million TEU in 2025, its second-busiest year on record and up about 2.6% on 2024. Around 39 weekly liner services call here, moving consumer goods, furniture, tyres, forest products and a large reefer trade tied to poultry and agricultural exports. Rail is a defining strength: the Mason Mega Rail Terminal moves well over half a million containers a year, with CSX and Norfolk Southern offering direct Class I links inland to Memphis, Atlanta and Chicago. The adjacent Ocean Terminal is being rebuilt as a dedicated container facility with roughly 2 million TEU of capacity. Import and customs processing runs through U.S. Customs and Border Protection, supported by extensive warehousing and distribution space nearby. Shippers seeking alternatives on the same range typically look to Charleston, South Carolina, or Jacksonville (JAXPORT).
