Ocean Network Express (ONE) plans to launch a new containership service between the Port of Savannah and West India in May.
The service will feature a fleet of nine vessels, all of which are operated by ONE. The main commodities will include consumer goods, such as electronics, perishables, textiles and chemicals, Georgia Port Authority (GPA) officials said in a press release.
The GPA's ocean ship services via the Suez Canal will increase to 10, with nine calling on the Indian subcontinent.
"ONE’s West India North America service recognizes a growing shift in global sourcing, with more manufacturers adding operations on the subcontinent," said GPA President and CEO Griff Lynch. "With the world’s largest population, India also represents a tremendous market opportunity for U.S. exporters. The Port of Savannah is strategically positioned to take advantage of this trend, providing more connections to India for supply chain flexibility."
With the new ONE offering, the port will reach a total of 37 ocean-carrier services to global destinations — the most of any port from the mid-Atlantic to the Gulf of Mexico, GPA officials said.
The Port of Savannah's rail service is provided by Savannah Port Terminal Railroad, with interchanges with Norfolk Southern Railway and CSX.
