Port of Savannah's box volume rises 5.8pc in Q1 FY2018 to 1m TEU
THE Port of Savannah handled one million TEU across its Garden City Terminal between July 1 and September 30, representing an increase of 5.8 per cent compared to the corresponding first quarter of FY2017.
In September alone, the Georgia Port Authority's (GPA) container throughput rose by 5.4 per cent year on year to 325,141 TEU.
"Sustained organic growth coupled with increased market share are driving these volume increases," said GPA executive director Griff Lynch in a statement. "We have also achieved major gains through the addition of neo-Panamax vessels to the fleet serving Garden City Terminal."
Container tonnes grew by 8.1 per cent, or 543,761 tonnes, to reach 7.23 million tonnes for the quarter ending September 30.
