Georgia Ports logs increased traffic in June

The Port of Savannah, Georgia, closed out fiscal-year 2026 with an 18% increase in cargo handled in June over the same month in 2025. The port handled 483,684 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of cargo in June.

For the entire fiscal year, the Savanah port moved 5.67 million TEUs, just shy of the 5.7 million TEUs logged in 2025, said Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) officials in a press release. GPA's Appalachian Regional Port handed a record 49,319 intermodal containers in the entire FY26, up at least 20% from its total in FY25.

In FY26, the GPA moved 541,405 containers by rail at its Mason Mega Rail facility, marking the third consecutive year it has moved over half a million containers. Rail cargo accounted for 17% of Savannah's total container trade in FY26, with the rest being moved by truck, GPA officials said.

GPA's Port of Brunswick moved 763,122 units of roll-on/roll-off cargo in FY26, down 12.4% from FY25 due to challenges in the sector. For the month of June, RoRo volume was 58,599 units, down 12.4% from the same month last year.
