The Georgia Ports Authority has recorded its busiest April for container trade, moving 515,500 TEUs.
The Port of Savannah saw a 17 per cent year-over-year (YoY) increase, up 74,500 TEUs.
Mason Mega Rail handled over 50,000 intermodal lifts, an 8 per cent rise from April 2024, signalling a shift back to East and Gulf Coast ports.
The Appalachian Regional Port set a record with 4,241 lifts, up 49 per cent.
GPA President and CEO, Griff Lynch, said: “Manufacturers, retailers and agribusiness continue to choose Georgia’s ports to serve customers across the Southeast and the world.
“Our operations remain business-as-usual with some customers front-loading supply chains to avoid disruption. With the latest news on tariffs, we’re optimistic the situation will settle down and cargo will continue to flow through Savannah and Brunswick. We’re already seeing an uptick in business for the months ahead.”
April was the third straight monthly container record for Savannah, following 480,000 TEUs in February and 534,000 in March.
From 1 July 2024, through 30 April 2025, the port moved 4.8 million TEUs — an 11 per cent increase over the same period in FY2024.
In February, GPA set a new record with 479,850 TEUs, marking a 6 per cent increase compared to the same month in 2024.
