Georgia Ports Authority

The Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) is a public agency based in Garden City, Georgia. The GPA employs 622 people and generates $424.5 million in annual revenue. The GPA operates two major ports: the Port of Savannah and the Port of Brunswick. These ports handle a wide range of cargo, including containerized goods, refrigerated products, breakbulk cargo, agricultural products, and vehicles. They serve as vital gateways to global markets for U.S. manufacturers and retailers. The Port of Savannah's Garden City Terminal is the fourth busiest container terminal in the United States, while the Port of Brunswick ranks first in the import of new automobiles. The GPA is committed to sustainability and has implemented several initiatives to reduce its environmental impact. These include electrification efforts that have avoided the use of over 5.8 million gallons of diesel fuel annually. Over the past 15 years, the GPA has reduced diesel consumption by more than 50 percent per container unit moved. Additionally, the GPA is deepening the Savannah Harbor to 47 feet to accommodate larger ships. For more information, visit gaports.com.
