Georgia Ports Container Volumes Slip as Savannah Expansion Push Continues

Georgia Ports Authority reported a 2.5% decline in container volumes through April as softer market conditions and last year’s tariff-driven front-loading weighed on comparisons.

The Port of Savannah handled approximately 4.7 million TEUs during the fiscal year to date, down 118,422 TEUs from the same period last year. In April, Savannah moved 443,650 TEUs, a nearly 14% decline from April 2025, which was the port’s busiest April on record.

Port officials said last year’s volumes were boosted by shippers pulling cargo forward ahead of tariffs.

“Our customers are managing through a softer market with higher operating costs,” said Georgia Ports
