The Port of Savannah handled a record 504,015 TEUs in September, up 3.7% year on year, as import volumes and peak-season trade lifted activity.
Georgia Ports Authority reported on 7 October 2026 that Savannah moved 504,015 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in September, 3.7% more than in September 2025. The authority said volumes for the first quarter of its fiscal year exceeded 1.5 million TEUs, up 2.7% year on year, with import loads rising 5.5% in September. It attributed the extended peak season partly to typhoon-related delays at Asian ports and noted that carriers used Savannah’s operations and proximity to retail distribution centres. The figures and explanation are Georgia Ports Authority’s own report.
